Below is my dates inside/outside Australia:

Travel outside Australia: from 13/01/2014 to 19/09/2014 : Held valid visitor visa from 30/4/2017 till 30/10/2014 : visa not used

Second entry to Australia: 19/09/2014 to 17/07/2015 – Partner visa 309 granted on 1/9/2014

Travel outside Australia : 17/07/2015 to 15/8/2015

Third entry to Australia: 15/08/2015 to 6/04/2016– Partner visa 309

Travel outside Australia: 06/04/2016 to 13/06/2016

Fourth entry to Australia: 13/06/2016 to 13/02/2017 – Partner visa 309

Travel outside Australia: 13/02/2017 to 03/03/2017

Fifth entry to Australia: 03/03/2017 to 8/09/2017 - Partner visa 309

You can count time on a temporary visa - only the last year needs to be on a PR but I don't know if the unused visitor visa counts as a valid visa (usually visa's only become valid on entry to the country). If so, you're eligible now, if not it will be 1/9/2018 19/09/2018.

The calculator is too basic for this, it relies on you putting in (and knowing the validity of) the correct dates. In the above example the lawful entry date could be 19/9/2014 or 26/12/2013 depending on the validity of the used visa.

This sounds better!

Hi all 

thank you very much for you replies. Yes I’m not sure if the unused visitor is considered valid or not? I will wait for further advice.

 

thank you again!

My reply was no use at all! But I wish you well and hopefully you can apply soon! :$
