It’s the former and ‘facilitation’ refers to facilitating you being allowed to board an aircraft after your most not arrive by date has expired on the system.
Hi Paul,
Do you have any suggestions regarding the Travel Facilitation Letter Request (TFLR) and dealing with the following scenario where my partner and her daughter have been granted a SC309 Partner (Provisional) visa with same First Entry Date of March 2022 where my partner is hoping to travel to Australia in July 2022 but her daughter was not planning on entering Australia until October 2024 to further her university studies in Australia where a decision concerning the SC100 Permanent Resident visa would have been made by 30 June 2024. The problem with the TFLR Form is that it is not possible to specify a separate entry date for the daughter if one answers yes to the question “Does anyone else who was part of the same visa application also require a travel facilitation letter?” Would it be better to apply for separate TFLs, one for my partner and one for her daughter and when would be the best time to apply for these e.g. apply for each letter just before they are going to travel to Australia? Thanks.

First of all, you need to check whether it's even possible to get a Travel Facilitiation Letter now. It was introduced ONLY because it was difficult to travel while the borders were closed.
The borders are not closed now, so at some point, they will stop offering Travel Facilitiation Letters. They may have already stopped, for all I know. So you need to check.
Things will then get back to normal. "Normal" means that both your partner and her daughter will need to fly to Australia for a visit to activate their visas before March 2022.
Yes, it is still possible to get a Travel Facilitation Letter. See following link on Department of Home Affairs website:

For a partner/spouse vias Its not a "first entry date", its the date by which you have to arrive to activate the visa. So then unless you enter the country by this date, or apply for a TFL ( which you can only do 3 months before the date - so you would need to be doing it next month) your visa would lapse. Im not sure how your daughter connects to the visa I assume you wouldnt get a TFL to extend to 2024 though ! If she is the daughter of an Australian citizen then much simpler to apply for citizenship by descent, can then get Australian visa and then there is no time constraints and no restrictions/extra costs if further study is to be undertaken.
The conditions of the Partner (Provisional) (subclass 309) visa as specified in the visa letter are:
1. For first entry, arrive by: 1 March 2022. [Hence, it is a "first entry date".]
2. Length of stay: Until notified that subclass 100 has been decided or the application is withdrawn
3. Travel: Multiple entries
Regarding my daughter, you are mistaken. I never mentioned anything about my daughter. It is my partner's daughter who was on the SC309 visa application and was granted exactly the same visa and entry conditions as my partner. However, she wishes to enter Australia in around October 2024, not by the "first entry date" of 1 March 2022.

Regarding the Travel Facilitation Letter Request Form, what would be the best way of dealing with the following scenario where my partner and her daughter have been granted a SC309 Partner (Provisional) visa with same First Entry Date of March 2022 where my partner is hoping to travel to Australia in July 2022 but her daughter was not planning on entering Australia until October 2024 to further her university studies in Australia where a decision concerning the SC100 Permanent Resident visa would have been made by 30 June 2024.

What do you advise a provisonal residency (SC309) visa holder to do if the initial/first entry date is about to pass and there is no firm travel plans set to travel to Australia within the next 12 months? Still go ahead and apply for the Travel Facilitation Letter Request or wait until an entry date is set even if the first entry date has passed?
