Tavio Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 So... wife and I have just been granted our 189 visas last week, and we are starting to think she also just got pregnant (still to be confirmed, could be a false alarm). I'm worried now about what would be the consequences regarding our entry in Australia. Would she be allowed to enter Australia pregnant and have the baby there, even though she didn't inform herself to be pregnant in our visa application (since we didn't know about it when we applied)? Thanks :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Would she be allowed to enter Australia pregnant and have the baby there, even though she didn't inform herself to be pregnant in our visa application Yes and the child would be an Australian citizen by birth. Apply for Medicare as soon as you arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to ask, but is there official information about this anywhere? It would really calm us down to read something like this somewhere on the immi website...

lebourvellec Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 W Russell is a registered migration agent. As your visas have been granted there is no need to contact anyone, if the child is born in Australia it will be Australian Citizen at birth, if child born overseas, you will need to apply for a child visa before the child can enter Australia. http://www.immi.gov.au/Live/Pages/children-born-to-a-permanent-resident-of-australia.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Don't stress it is fine. Our PR visa was granted in April 2008, we validated in June and didn't move till September 2009, when I was 29 weeks pregnant at the time. Baby was born here a citizen and did not need a visa.
