partnership

Looked at firb site and don't need if joint tenants and in relationship. Woohoo relieved

When on a temporary partner visa you don't need to get approval but it seems as if you are still hit with this surcharge.

Long story short son is on temporary partner visa, they have got mortgage approval and offer accepted on house. Now the lawyers are saying that they may have to pay an additional surcharge because he is not pr or citizen. They are in Queensland. has anyone come across this or have any advice.

Got sorted thanks

Can anyone help me with this. I need an email address to contact immigration about conditions of a student visa which has been granted.

Thanks Raul I am looking for a contact email. I did application online

Thanks Raul I understand what they are. I believe that they are wrong as I am doing a master's and therefore my husband should have unrestricted work rights as per the website. Also it says visa lasts for 6 months after a postgraduate course. If I have it wrong that's ok I am only going by their website.

Student visa granted but have query re length and work conditions. How do I contact immigration to clarify no way to do on Vevo. Am outside Australia

If I apply for a student visa and add my husband does he have to travel at same time or can he follow me

Thanks Stuart74 good to knowit can be done quickly

How long did it take to get the visa?

Anyone?

How long does it take to get for a postgraduate course? Can people share their experiences please. I know the Imni website says 56 days so want to know if people get earlier.

Thanks for the replies. A lot cheaper than bringing them over.

Just looking for general idea of costs and timeframe required.

Not sure if this is the right forum. I am looking at doing a master's in Australia. I might have to do the graduate certificate first as my degree is different discipline. How does this work visa wise. Will I have to apply separately. I know that with a master's I can study 20 hours and my other half full time. Would this be same for graduate certificate?

Missing your updates!

If you were an author writing fiction books is it possible to go to Australia on a visitors visa and write provided you go back to another country to publish?

Anyone have recommendations for cover for older students please?

Hi Just wondering if I could chat to one of the agents on here about student visa consultation please.

I understand that you need to have been accepted by a college before you apply for the student visa. Do you have to pay the college fees in advance of getting the visa and if so is it one term or the full year? If you didn't get the visa would you get a refund of fees? Just trying to understand the whole process. How long does it take to get the student visa - I read a couple of posts that suggests it could be five months.

Thanks for replying Pom Queen. I am looking to do a masters by research as you can work full time while doing it which makes it a bit more affordable. It would be business/hr/conflict management related. I have looked at the main universities in QLD ie QUT, CQ, University of Queensland, etc as I would be based in Brisbane. Would not rule out a college in another part of Australia if fees were big difference as attendance at college would be limited. Fees vary but probably 22,000 upwards per year for two year masters. I only looked at Brisbane college because they do a two year leadership course - would only be able to work part time though.

Does anyone have any experience or information on this college for international students. Their fees seem quite reasonable compared to some.

A couple of people have mentioned going onshore and then applying and getting a bridging visa. I thought this could only be done for the aged visa?

Thanks everyone for the replies. Have looked online at the area I want to live and could get somewhere nice for 350 pw or if I went basic about 250. Speaking to my son I figure if we said 4000 pm then should be ok so this is in line with gbye grey skys estimates. To be honest it is all conjecture but am trying to look at all my options. Waiting on the proposed new visas in July to see
