interested in applying for 143 visa Form 47PA the new one the question regarding question 13 do any members of your family even if not immigrating) have or have held visa How far afield in the family would we have to go For instance my daughter is visiting this month and therefore would have a visa while IO am applying but my grandsonm visited Austgra;lia 5 years ago so do I need to give details about him? They also ask When did you l;ive in Australia do they also mean you have to tell them when you visited as a holiday maker not just when you came with the 410 visa.

I am finding the attachments required for the 47PA form a little overwhelming. They ask for proof of children's home address and mention passport The UK passports do not have addresses shown I thought of driving licence as the address and date of birth is shown However as 2 of my children have married they no longer have my name so what use would their proof of residence be? If I used their driving licence copies would a note on each advising of the date of their marriage and change of name be considered appropriate? Onbe does not know whether they would 'hate' addendum notes even if they were helpful Should I get them to send me a copy of their marriage certificates?

I have hunted and am not sure which thread/forum you mean could you give me a link perhaps I did try on on forum but no replies so probably the wrong one Thanks

Just been looking at the check list for paperwork to go with the application How many of us still have our children's birth certificates when they are all ,over 55 and live in a different country so to get them and have a copy certified will take time I fail to understand why if we are not needing to have the balance of family part of the application we need to have all these proofs also proof of where they live etc

I think the question is "Can you renew your 410 visa if you have been put on the queue for the 143 visa or is this classified as a substantive visa

Thank you Mr Russell re-reading this reply I would take it that we would be wasting our money renewing our 410 visa 2 years early in order to travel as I understand from what you hjave said it would be superceded by the 143 visa so we would have to apply for the bridging visa in order to return to australia. If this is the case How long does the bridging visa we would 'purchase?" last thanks in advance

I was told that the NEW 47pa which was recently given is the one for 410's

I have printed out the 47ap form and am surprised that it ants details of all my children although they are in Uk and have no intention or wish to come over and are over 55 so too old anyway I wish they had made a simplified form just for the retirees application

Thank you I just wanted to be able to travel as much as we can and not have to purchase the bva bridging one hoping the 410 visa would still be 'active and alive' until; I was given the 143 and [paid the final $43,000 I thought that would be the cheaper option than buying thew bridging visa every time I wanted to cruise etc

As I will be interested in applying for the new 143 parent visa without children I still have 2 years to run on my 410 visa. As we like to travel a great deal does anyone know IF when we are on the list for the 143 we can renew our 410 visa so we can travel If not it would m,ke sense to lose 2 years and renew the 410 now I believe we are 80
