89mariah Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I am about to send in my application for the second part of my 309 defacto visa and i was wondering if i am able to leave the country while it is being processed. My partner and i have just decided to up and travel Canada and North America for 6-12months and i was just wondering if i can be offshore while it is being processed?. Also with my application i am sending in. 3 stat decs from friends family Travel documents from the past four years. Bank statements from our join account for the past four years. Joint lease agreements spanning the last four years. In your opinion is that enough evidence?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Seems ok to me on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 When I applied for mine you had to be in the country when the application was decided so check this. It may be best to wait til you come back. You are allowed some time out of the country but here are limits for the final year so check this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco56 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 The second stage of this visa (309/100) is the grant of the subclass 100 (permanent) visa. You can be onshore or offshore for the grant of the subclass 100. If you are offshore for the grant there will be a date specified for the latest entry you can make in order to satisfy the grant conditions. The specified date will depend on various factors such as the validity periods of health and character checks, and possibly on the visa status of your sponsor if they a permanent visa rather than an Australian Citizen.
