    It's in the Migration Regulations. The definition of permanent resident for this purpose requires that the person is both "usually resident in Australia" and "is the holder of a permanent visa".

    AGE LIMIT

    No there isn’t, but as has already been mentioned a number of times, if he is a former PR with an Aussie partner, an RRV is the first port of call.

    No it is not for this specific occupation. There are specific English language thresholds to meet though.

    The advice above is correct at the moment, but your question relates to a hypothetical situation six years in the future. Many things may have changed by then.

    Police certificates for immigration purposes are issued through the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) ACRO Criminal Records Office (NPCC). The correct link is: https://www.acro.police.uk/Police_Certificates_Online.aspx

    Actually the partner visa application form does request this information.

    Waits can be long in these types of situation at the moment. Be careful with the eVisitor as you will have an issue if they “cross in the post”. If you have firm travel plans then better to chase the RRV first.

    Sorry - my mistake, missed the double "no" ! He would get a bridging visa.

    Maybe you don't hang out with marketing specialists ? https://theterritory.com.au/migrate/migrate-to-work/northern-territory-government-visa-nomination/nt-migration-occupation-list/northern-territory-migration-occupation-list-g-o 225113 Marketing Specialist Offshore applicants must provide evidence of having received an offer of employment by a NT employer in their nominated occupation or a closely related occupation
  10. paulhand
    Exactly ... and the OP's specified occupation requires a job offer to get an NT nomination.

    In order to make an onshore application, they would first need the no further stay condition waived. In order to obtain a waiver, circumstances must have developed since the visa was granted that resulted in a major change in the visa holder’s circumstances. In addition, the change in circumstances must have been beyond their control and be compelling and compassionate in nature. From what you have written, this does not seem to be the case and therefore a waiver is unlikely. If they want to pursue this, they should seek professional advice asap.

    The OP definitely needs to speak with a new RMA if they are unsatisfied with the service they have so far received. This situation is too complex for general forum advice. ‘On the above - this is not the case with ETAs. ETAs sit in the background like bridging visas if the holder has a substantive visa, they do not ‘overwrite’ an existing visa. If the OP had been granted a ‘standard’ visitor visa this would have replaced the student visa.

    Questions

    For example, there is currently an age limit of 50 for transitioning to PR when holding a visa issued under the NT DAMA agreement. If you want to explore such scenarios it would be best to get some professional advice, as these are complex scenarios.

    @rammygirl That's the difference between the 417 and the 462 that the OP refers to - the 462 allows hospitality work in Northern Australia. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-462/specified-462-work
  15. paulhand
    You apply for both at the same time. If your relationship is already long term, the permanent visa is granted immediately after the temporary, otherwise you need to provide additional information after two years to get the permanent visa granted. There are both onshore and offshore options.
  16. paulhand
    Really doesn't matter. If you apply now with the existing passport, you can update your application at any time once you have renewed your passport.

    There is no age limit on the sponsored temporary work visas (i.e. the TSS / 482 visas), but these are temporary only and if you are over 45, except in very limited scenarios, there will be no path to permanent residence. The occupation must still be on one of the skills shortage lists.
  19. paulhand
    You need to speak with a Registered Migration Agent (RMA). RMA's, whether onshore or offshore, are registered with and regulated by the Migration Agents Regulatory Authority (MARA) in Australia. You can search on the MARA website for a local agent: https://www.mara.gov.au/ All the RMAs who regularly post on this forum are reputable.

    As a non-citizen you must be "usually resident in Australia" in order to sponsor your partner for a visa. This may be an issue if you are, and have been, living in the UK. As has been mentioned, you do not have a great deal of time to sort this out. I would suggest that you speak with a Registered Migration Agent to review your options and formulate a strategy.

    The South Australian Minister for Education, the Hon John Garner MP, has just announced that the school contribution fee for dependents of Subclasses 457 and 482 visa holders, attending government schools in regional areas, are to be waived to encourage nor foreign workers to settle or work in regional South Australia. The full media release is available here The full list of schools that qualify for the fee exemption are available at education.sa.gov.au

    You have asked this question in other forums. You may not like the replies you have received, but the facts remain the same. The issue is both what you told the Department about your relationship on your application and whether you have breached your initial entry conditions. As @ali says, you should get some help to sort this out in a proactive way.

    RRV 155

    paulhand replied to Milcey W's topic in Visa Chat

    It would be better if they didn’t go; however, if they do, they need to apply for Bridging Visa A and then a Bridging Visa B which will allow them rentry to Australia. ‘Note that it is not a ‘continuous’ two years, but rather a cumulative two years within the past 5 years to qualify for a 5 year RRV.

    RRV renewal

    paulhand replied to Nss's topic in Visa Chat

    If you have been away that much it would be sensible to consult an RMA to assist you to put together an application that addressed the requirements in the best possible way.
