Amber Snowball Many thanks. I have had a quick look but see it was posted in 2012 and I am not sure if the information provided is still relevant. I will have another look to check if there anything more up to date.

Marisawright Many thanks for the detailed response. You have given us a lot to think about. The shocker is the 8 year wait for the 864 visa to be processed. I must admit I was expecting a wait of about 2 years but 8 years means there is little point in applying on shore. for us. Can you confirm if the 8 year wait was a one-off or is this the normal time taken? Many thanks again to everybody who replied.

Hello Does anyone have information on whether it is worth shipping a car from UK to Australia and the paperwork involved? Many thanks

Hello I am looking for any information on this visa class if anyone has details? We are retirees, our daughter has perm. residency, we can afford the contributions, and appear to tick all required boxes. Is the 864 the best and quickest option for us? Also we are trying to understand the application process - do we travel to Australia on a normal tourist visa then apply for the 864? And will we need a bridging visa for the period up to when the 864 is issued? Also any information on the time taken to process the visa? Any help appreciated.
