Hey Can I ask was it hard to get a mortgage approved in Australia after only just moving over? We are looking at moving end of next year (husband is Australian- I have a visa) and we have a deposit ready for when we want to buy but didn’t know if we would have to be in the country for X amount of months/years to show financial records etc? Thanks Natalie

Thank you for your quick reply thats really helpful, how does the visa work is it just for 1 year once you enter then what happens? Do you keep applying for it each year for 4-5 years and then apply for citizenship?

Hi, Hopefully this hasn't been asked before, I have tried to look.... I'm English and my husband is Australian, we lived in Oz for 2 years and I was on a 801 Visa during 2012-2013 we came back to the UK as I was pregnant and wanted to spend some time back home, fast forward 6 years and 3 children we now want to head back to Australia permanently next year.... how do I go about this as the 801 visa expired July 2017? Can I get a resident return visa? Or do I have to submit a new spouse visa? We have visited Australia numerous times in the last 5 years for a holiday, I'm not sure if that activates anything of my absence? Hope this makes sense? Thanks Natalie
