Emawk Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hi, I have a few questions. I received an email saying that visa has been granted. What does the visa look like? What do I show to the authorities? Is it the PDF file that contains the VISA grant number? As a Canadian, is travel insurance mandatory? I feel like I'm missing something. What could it be?

VERYSTORMY Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Your visa s linked to your passport, no need to show anything. Yes, you should take travel insurance. You should also consider if now is a good time to travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emawk Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 So travel insurance is mandatory? If so, do you or anyone else have any recommendations? There is no question that now is not the most ideal time to travel. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have scanned through the document, and can't seem to find were it states if insurance is mandatory. Will you be able to point me to it?

paulhand Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Under Visa conditions. If it doesn’t say maintain health insurance then it’s not mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't arrive by that date, you lose the visa. Other than that, you're good to go. Your only other problem might be getting a flight to get here!

ollie.b Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The granted visa will store in gov system so if your passport is sufficient. But just in case, print out the visa pdf and bring with you. Insurance requirements depends on your visa type, student/working visa need you maintain insurance in Australia but visitor's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
