    143visa. Applied December 2015 and granted 29 November 2019.

    We have just moved over the beginning of August, my husband was 77 when he had his medical last year and passed even though he had a hip replacement just 6 weeks before. Age is only a number and home is where the heart is. Your parents are old enough and young enough to make their own decisions, I think as long as they carry on with their lives while waiting for their Visa it will be fine.

    Yes you can definitely travel on your 143 visa. We had our Visa grant 29/11/19, our flights were cancelled for the 2/4:20 due to covid.. we flew 2/8/20 , we printed our 143 visa grant and presented it along with our tickets... they phoned Australia to confirm our visas and then everything was plain sailing. We completed our 14 days quarantine at the Pullman Hotel in Adelaide. Good luck with getting flights... where are you flying from and to? We flew Singapore Airline from Heathrow to Adelaide.

    Victory has not even said it will charge.... if they ever open up to passengers. Closed until at least 24th October. So sad for everyone involved.

    I think it was April 2019 there was a couple who’s final paperwork took nearly 12 months from their medicals and the validity was extended to 18 months. Sorry I can’t remember their names.

    Although you can afford your own medical care at the moment, there could come a time that you might not be able to. They have to cover every eventuality.

    I feel so sorry for you SusieRoo, you got so close to being granted your visa before Covid 19 reared it’s ugly head. Now Australia is so difficult to travel to. I’m in Mandatory Quarantine at the moment, the amount of people who have had more than 7 flights cancelled just to get home is heartbreaking. I hope you are one of the first to get your visa grant when it gets back to normality.

    Don't switch....you will have to cancel your application for the 173 and start from the beginning again to apply for a 143, effectively losing the 51 months you have already waited. As soon as the visa office starts to issue visas again you will be contacted very quickly. Good luck and just wait it out.

    My husband has high blood pressure and is on medication, not a problem. He has an uneven heart beat. No problem. He had just had a hip replacement 4 weeks before the exam.. also no problem. My blood pressure was way off the clock with all the stress but the consultant knew we had travelled over 5 hours so sent me off for a rest for an hour. I had it taken more than 15 times and then she picked the best one. No problem. They understand we are not spring chickens and definitely allow for age. We had balance test, skin examined for cancer etc. Bring as much info with you as you can on your medical background. Good luck

    Congratulations!! All States except Melbourne are now charging. We are hoping to validate our visa 2nd August. Should of been April but Covid 19 got in the way. Really so pleased for you

    We did it ourselves, the form like you say is straight forward, read everything twice and read the guidelines booklet. If English is your first language and you don’t have a complicated family background you should be fine.

    Hi Mark, like you I was worried about entering Australia as wasn’t sure if my visa(143) was classed as resident until I validated it. If you go to immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/VEVO That’s the Visa Entitlement Verification Online site, you can put in your details and under Visa description it will show RESIDENT. We are traveling the beginning of July and have not validated our visa yet. Other people have posted on here at the beginning of lockdown entering without any problems. You are classed as Permanent Resident. Shelagh

    Linda are you flying from Alicante, Madrid or Barcelona? I’ve found some flights with Turkish Airlines but have never flown with them before so a bit nervous to book.
  14. Jellybean T
    Hola Linda, We’ve got voucher for Singapore Airlines but I don’t mind who we fly with as long as the first entry into Australia is Adelaide.. or it’s double the quarantine. SA haven’t opened their boarder to other states at the moment. When are you planning on going?
  15. Jellybean T
    Congratulations... you now just have to find flights to get you there. Hopefully Singapore will start letting us transit through there airport.
