oldangler 10 Posted September 24, 2014 My Filipino wife should be getting a 309 visa soon. I am Oz citizen. The waiting time for upgrade to class 100 is 2 years. We would like to share our time between Australia and the Philippines so my question is: What is the minimum period she has to stay in Australia during the two years? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaggieMay24 1,518 Posted September 24, 2014 She needs to enter Australia after the 309 is granted to activate the visa, but otherwise she doesn't need to live here before being assessed for the 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
