Paige03 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 We're planning on doing this. I'm going with my daughter and my husband and son are coming about a month later :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The only thing to look out for is that the visas do not come with the condition that the main applicant enters Australia first. This used to be quite common, I don't know if it is that common these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The only thing to look out for is that the visas do not come with the condition that the main applicant enters Australia first. This used to be quite common, I don't know if it is that common these days. That was a condition on our visa that the primary applicant must enter first - it just meant that mine was the first passport given to the immigration officer - haven't heard it mentioned for a while on here so like you, don't know if it's still a common condition.

Que Sera Sera Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Our visa stipulated that my OH ( the main applicant ) had to enter first. I know may who have had one come first then the rest follow. Personally I think it's a shame as , as a family it's lovely to have that shared experience and I think it puts stress on one or the other of the partners that might be best shared. However if needs must then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Lovely WA ,,When it says the main applicant must activate first ,it can be by a second - meaning everyone can travel together and share the arrival experience ,Just make sure the main applicant produces his/ her passport first. It doesnt mean they have to come to Aus and enter alone. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the main applicant doesn't have to come on their own, we all came together but OH had to be first, I couldn't come first without him. Crickey I'm really having trouble explaining myself of late, my meaning is not coming across very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can, the main applicant just needs to be first in the queue. What you can't do in this case, is have the family come in batches (as per the question in this thread) unless the main applicant is in the first batch.
