markntracey Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Has anyone else applied to a visitor visa to come to Australia that was for a British Subject? My mum was born in Dublin but has lived in UK for 62 years. She has a british passport but it states that she is a British Subject not a Citizen. I've got her a subclass 600 visa but having a little wobble in case she arrives and gets sent straight back home. I've called home affairs twice and they basically told me that i have to work it out myself. Both kind of implied it was probably the right one, but that they can't say for sure. On the application form i didn't see anything for British subject only Citizen or British overseas national. I've filled out the application form as honest as i can including a copy of mums passport page and it was granted. Thank you Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My mother in law has visited us a few times - she was born in Limerick and spent most of her life in UK. She also had a British subject passport but after having some difficulty going to the US and some complication with a visa a few years ago, I seem to remember she actually got an Eire Passport - I can't recall which one she travelled her to Aus on though.

markntracey Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks Ali, she's arriving in 2 weeks so its too late to do that now. We've been through the home affairs website again and pretty sure we've got the right one. it took them over a month to grant it and they have a copy of her passport so i would hope if it was wrong they would have emailed. Mum was just worried after watching a programme and someone being sent home from India upon arrival, now i'm panicing as i applied for her visa for her.

ali Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Let us know how she gets on, I do remember my mother in law did get asked a few question and was a little slower through customs but otherwise all was ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
