Millie Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) My boyfriend has permanent residency in Australia, I went out there with him for 9 months on a working holiday visa and have recently returned. I want to go back at some point for up to 12 months on the Long Stay Visitor Visa (600£ Will they grant it to me and can I apply for permanent visas once the visitor visa ends? Also are there any other visa that I could do this with? Edited July 31, 2017 by Millie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Grundy Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 firstly, you can apply for a temporary partner visa after your visitor visa expires, this is the pathway to permanent residency in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be better to apply BEFORE the visitor visa expires, unless the poster wants to leave Australia. Do not be left onshore with no visa!

You may be able to apply for a partner visa if you can meet the eligibility requirements. As to whether there are any other visa options, it will depend on your specific situation. No one will be able to advise based on the minimal information provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Raul Senise is a migration agent please be aware He does know what he is talking about. Have you looked into the partner visa and what it entails. As said, you could be able to apply perhaps if you can meet the requirements. As to other visas, no clue as no idea if your profession etc is on the list for any other visa type. I do think its risky trying to apply for a 12 month tourist visa after a WHV. Its also not really the intent of the visa if you intend to use it to clock up de facto time for the 12 months. Plus it would be a tourist visa and so you'd not be able to work or much else. I'd spend a bit of time researching other options and seeing what you can work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
