ndelame Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hello, i got my 189 visa...amazing!!!! I go to OZ for 2 weeks in november to "activate it", then I'll move there to settle in august with my girlfriend and daughter. Does anyone know when am I considered as a "permanent resident"? As I'll keep working and living outside Australia until august, before "starting my new life", should I take contact with the Australian Social Security and Tax Office since november, or only in august when I'll move ther for good? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeelD Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi, You are a PR from the minute you receive your visa. You need to validate it within a year of your PCC or Meds, which ever done first. Once you come back you have 5 years to then go back and settle. You won't have to inform anyone until you actually live there. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I hope you realise you all need to enter Australia to validate your visas; not simply the primary visa holder. Just saying because you've said "I go for 2 weeks..." rather than 'We go...". The 5 year re-entry rights on your 189s go from the visa grant date, not from the date you validate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once there, on the left hand side there is a My Settings box, in there are many other settings one of which is "Edit signature" - past that in there. Hope that helps.
