Yorkie replied to theballies's topic in Family / Partner Visas
Hi, it said a maximum of 7 days before departure. It was granted almost imediately. Yes, it is so difficult trying to do everything and saying goodbyes by phone or video chat. Last major thing to complete tomorrow Covid PCR test! Goodluck with your move also, and all the best.- 3,180 replies

Hi Kimbslice There are two types of tests. Rapid antigen tests and PCR tests The PCR test is the 'gold standard' test which you have to have done to get a 'fit to fly certificate'. In the UK this is only available if you pay at a private clinic as I understand that the NHS free rapid tests are not accepted. I am due to fly to Perth on 5th Februry and have a PCR test booked within the 72 hour timeframe of my depature. A PCR test can cost upto £200 per person!- 3,180 replies

Hi This statement from the Australian Dept of Health gives more details of requirements Passenger pre-departure testing Passengers travelling to Australia must be tested for COVID-19 72 hours or less prior to departure, and display evidence of a negative test result. PCR testing is required. Exemptions from this requirement may be available in extenuating circumstances including use of rapid antigen testing in rare cases. Members of a travelling party who have been close contacts (e.g. household contacts) of a traveller who has a positive test result will also not be allowed to travel to Australia until all members of the party are no longer infectious.- 3,180 replies

Hi Linda It seems to be only Queensland where you have to pay for your own hotel quarantine from 1st July. WA quarnatine is still paid for by the state at the moment. Check out the smart traveller site for details. https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/while-youre-away/returning-australia

All travellers arriving in Australia must undertake a mandatory 14-day quarantine at designated facilities (for example, a hotel), in their port of arrival. You may need to provide information to the Department before travelling to Australia.
