No you don't understand how it works. If I go to Spain and show them I'm financially able to support myself I can apply for residency. Why would I need another passport?

I have enough money to live in Spain without needing a pension so why does that exclude me?

There are long term visas you can get then you go to the police station before 3 months is up and apply to become a Spanish resident. Unless that has changed??? I have a cold allergy (primary acquired cold urticaria) it affects around 1 in 300,000 people so it's rare. No one I know has it. In the UK I had to stay indoors most of the time. Its why Im in AU now. I need a warm climate. Plus it's cheaper than the UK. I thought about Asia but Ive been to Spain a few times and like it a lot. Dubai is another possibility but I'd probably get arrested for something within minutes of stepping out of the terminal building.

I sent an email to minister Alex Hawke to see what he recommends since Home Affairs is not responding. Hi there Alex, Am on a Bridging Visa E which expires in a few days (April 8th). Can't leave Australia at the moment would like to apply for a visa that can keep me here for at least 12 months. Can't get a reply from WA community visa resolution status and Home Affairs so maybe you can give me some advice mate. Regards, I'll see if he replies. I've noticed some of these flights out of Australia are not direct to Spain. They go via Singapore or Dubai or Doha and can take up to 57 hours!

Everything I've posted on this forum was made up. You can delete all the threads.

Yes I was attention seeking. Well spotted!

Forget it. I should never have bothered posting here.

This is a matter of life or death. Im staying no matter what

Yes well what happened was last friday I was rushed into hospital into resus. I was lucky to make it in time. I stayed 2 nights and was discharged last sunday. I was told I would need more tests were needed as they werent sure what they were dealing with. These tests are in 6 weeks time.

It is vital I go for this doctor's appointment it's literally life or death. I'll apply for a medical visa instead.

ZERO chance of me getting caught.

So Home Affairs expect me to sell all my furniture in a few days and leave by the 8th? They must be living on another planet. I've already told them twice that's not how things work in the real world. I'm staying in Australia for the foreseeable future visa or no visa and theres not a damn thing they can do about it. At least now I know not to spend any more money on one.

I'll stay in Australia without a visa if necessary. Not my problem.

Can't leave for medical reasons I have an appointment in 5 weeks time.

I'm getting no response from either Home Affairs or the visa status people so maybe someone here knows the answer to this. On the BVE BRIDGING (GENERAL) (subclass 050) I have which expires in a few days there is a condition 8511 - show ticket. There is no no further stay listed so I assume I can apply for another visa, so I'm in the process of applying for a 600 onshore tourist stream visa which lasts up to 12 months. The cost is $365 AUD. Now before I go ahead and pay is there any reason why they would deny it? I don't want to waste money if there's a chance it will be denied.
