I believe a spouse can, family in general can’t. 

Australia’s borders are closed. Only Australian citizens, residents and immediate family members can travel to Australia.

In this situation,  i think immediate familly who is in same familly unit (father , mother , bro , sis but not person who in law )

If they hold a PR visa they can fly in, if temp they can't. That is part of (not in spite of) the current restrictions. 

I thought familly of PR or Citizen still can pass border even they hold temp

Is there a rule about number of years you have to live in Australia within first 5 years to be able  to maintain your residency status? My parents enjoy living overseas and would come and live here only if their health deteriorates. Thanks

You must stay at least 2 years to renew your visa

Congratulations Vlong, which part of Australia u r residing

Currently we live in Melbourne

Hi everyone , i has been granted onshore visa 143 for me and my mom today. Hope it is good news for anyone same case with us.

I'm currently holding visa subclass 173 

Last week , i received 2nd Vac for visa 143 but without the invoice and I were emailed back for that .

Today , i receive 2nd vac with the invoice . I feel like they still processing onshore visa

I think u still can get the visa , but evidence to prove that you dependent on your parent much more harder . U need to sign up for class until your case open and you cant work until that time

I have received require for 2nd Vac for our 143 visa yesterday however they not send me payment attached. I dont know how much money and options to pay for our visa .

Hope they will reply soon

Hi everyone , We already done the bank guarentee but we just realized that the name of my mother missing one word because of the centrelink letter (my son in law did the bank guarentee for us). Is there any chance we can fix this problems? We very confused because maybe we cant take the money out from the bank . And even centrelink approve our aos , immigration wont grant the visa for us 

Hi everyone , does anyone know how long they asking bank guarentee and interview for the aos ??? We applied aos 13 January in centrelink :((( we will move to different house soon .Really worry they send the mail and we cant collect that . Anyway , g9 anyone !!!

We have requested for 2nd Vac for our 173 visa . So anyone know how to pay for it?

Has anyone on 173 who submitted documents in February received invoice to pay? Do you think IMMI are waiting for the new financial year (next week) to issue grants. This has been such a long wait for the next step it is very worrying. Feeling in limbo

I was requested for more information(such as dependent child infor) in may , so i think they have a look on your docs and they will grant visa for us soon.I hope so
