we were informed that people “who have been granted a permanent visa offshore are still permitted to enter Australia, even where they have not previously been to this country.”

 

 

Great news. Thanks @Nemesis

Hi, I’ve read it says Perm Residents, but are they distinguishing between those who have already resided in Australia and returning versus those who are about to enter and take up residency ?

I'm in a situation similar to this. We originally planned to move to Australia from London in May. Yesterday we bought more airline tickets to fly next week and woke up this morning to find only citizens and residents will be allowed to enter Australia. I spoke to my migration agent this morning and she seemed to think that I would be okay to enter given that I'm travelling with my partner who is an Australian citizen and I've been granted a 100 parter visa giving permanent residence. I'm waiting for confirmation on this though.

On the other hand, after searching on the internet I found this ...

What’s important to realise, is that you are NOT a permanent or provisional resident of Australia UNTIL you activate the visa – so there is a vulnerable period of time before first entry!

I applied on 24th April 2019. 100 visa was granted this morning. No RFIs. Front loaded police certificates and health check.
