alison Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi could anyone give some advise about obtaining a BVB,I have been granted a BVA while my partner visa is processing and that kicks in on the 10th May,i really need to return to the UK soon as i need to help my elderly father sell his house along with organising renting mine out,i got married last month and my husband is joining me so he can meet my family and we can have our honeymoon in Italy too.I understand it is usual to be granted 3 months but can you ask for 6 months as i think it might take a bit longer to sort everything out,also can you apply in person in Melbourne and how long does it take to be granted,i havent booked a flight home ye as im not sure what to do first!!,many thanks!

Guest Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I would apply and see. You can't apply too soon in advance and need to allow at least 2 weeks prior to your hoped/planned for departure iirc. It should have all the info you need on the website and application. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/020- Here is the application form. You can list your intended travel dates and explain why you need so long on the form I'd think. https://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/1006.pdf I'd apply online. You can check here and see if they accept BVB applications in person at one of the Melbourne offices. https://www.border.gov.au/about/contact/offices-locations/australia If you only get 3 months, you only get 3 months. Shouldn't take that long to get an approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
