SaraVale Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hello All, This is my first post so hopefully I get it right... I've received my permanent visa (partner/subclass 100) and now have to apply for visa's for my children whom I have to sponsor. The sponsor form asks for proof of length of residency, I'm not sure how I would prove this and wondered if anyone has done this recently/can advise? I'm planning my first trip since receiving the visa next month, it is only a two week stay; will I get some kind of stamp in my passport? I'd thought everything would be electronic these days so immigration would just check on my passport/border control... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I believe they've done away with one of the stamps in the very recent past. Either exit or entry, can't remember which. I'll just have a look in my passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just checked my own passport and they stamp on arrival but not for departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It's complicated. You can still be resident but be temporarily offshore. Residence is taken to commence when you first enter Australia on a legitimate visa and continues as long as you continue to hold a valid visa. However, if you are offshore for too long in a given period, it may be deemed too much and make the clock reset for counting a period of residency e.g. for citizenship purposes.
