swaco Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi all, My family, spouse and three children, and I are waiting for the final decision regarding our visa SC 189 application which will hopefully be positive. I would be grateful if someone could answer if we all need to do the validation trip at the same time or if I (main applicant) can arrive first and have my family come later as long as they all arrive before the initial entry date deadline? It would be nice to be able to get a job, apartment etc. before they come. Br, Swaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yes you do not need to travel together but must all set foot in Aus before the initial date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitescargot Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 You can travel and enter Australia separately. My partner arrived 7 weeks ahead of me on our 189 visas to get a head start on job and house hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
