Hello everyone, I'm facing a dilemma regarding my residency status in Australia.
I arrived in Australia in 2014 and have been living here continuously since then.
However, my residency visa expired on the 19th of March 2019, and I'm now unable to apply for a Resident Return 5 Year (subclass 155) visa.
My situation is complicated by the fact that I come from a third world country where civil war has disrupted documentation processes.
As a result, obtaining essential documents like a birth certificate or citizenship proof has been challenging.
Currently, I have limited forms of identification, such as a learner's permit, Medicare card, debit card, and bank statement.
Unfortunately, these are not sufficient to meet the requirements for obtaining a Tax File Number (TFN), leaving me taxed at a higher rate of 47% for my work I'm seeking advice on how to navigate this situation.
Any suggestions on obtaining necessary identification documents or alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance!
