Hi, my family and I were due to visit Australia (specifically Perth, WA) this July in order to make an initial entry on our 189 visa. We were granted it in January and have to make initial entry before January 2021. Our intention is to make the move permanent within the next year to 18 months. Clearly, with the current Covid-19 crisis, it looks like we may not be able to visit Australia this summer - unless restrictions are lifted fairly soon. I am a secondary school teacher and am restricted to non-term time travel. So my only other option would be to travel at Christmas - as long as restrictions are lifted. Could anyone share some advice about what the situation would be should current travel restrictions still remain in place come January 2021? Many thanks - Pete

Thanks for the response - that makes perfect sense

My family and I have recently been granted a 189 visa. We are making our first entry to Australia at the start of July 2020. Can anyone advise which documents we will need to present on first entry to have our visas authorised? I am assuming Passport and Visa grant notification, but it does not actually advise specifically in the IMMI Grant notification letter. Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.
