Travellingpom2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was in Australia on an e-visa, valid for 12 months (but cannot stay longer than 3 months at a time). This visa expired May 2019. I applied for an S600 in sept so I could extend my stay and wouldn’t have to keep leaving every 3 months. I got the S600 granted today and it’s onky for 3 months and says I have to leave by 9th January Could it be correct that the case worker approving my visa would shorter my trip rather than extend? It doesn’t seem right and I can’t find anyone at immigration who can help me thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasmine Sallis Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) You can request a longer than 3 month stay in the application but it's at discretion of case officer to decide how long you are given.
