Taah Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 My 90 days Visa was granted 4 days before the Australian boarders were announced that they were going to close and is expiring June 15th. What will happen to my visor if the boarders aren't opened by then? Am I able to apply for the COVID-19 visor offshore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) I think the message was that you are expected to leave ASAP. If you haven't entered then I guess you would reapply when things become more stable Edited April 7, 2020 by Quoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your visitor visa expires you need to apply for a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Its not a COVID19 visa though is it? Its an existing visa which may be used in certain circumstances by some applicants. Also, as you say, its onshore, so whatever the OP was thinking about, it isn't that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as you say, its onshore, so whatever the OP was thinking about, it isn't that It's a brand new stream of an existing subclass - so, whilst we may be discussing semantics, it's a Covid-19 specific visa. The OP asked if 'the Covid visa was available offshore, to which they have their answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
