keithredpath Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My wife and I are 63 and 64 respectively. we applied for Visa 173 in June 2016. We plan to retire and emigrate to Australia in November. We are building our house at present. When we arrive in Australia via a tourist Visa is it possible to stay there until our 173 Visa comes through? Also, When would we be eligible to work? We have heard we might be able to get a "Bridging Visa" when we arrive that would give us the same rights as our forthcoming 173 Visa and therefore would be able to work. Can anyone clarify? Have we choose the right Visa to apply for. we are sponsored by our daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to be outside Australia at the time your subclass 173 visa is granted. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
