Matrix8631 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello hope everyone here is doing fine. We lodge our 309 partners visa last September 2019 and now it's on Further assistment, upon lodging 309 partners visa we also apply a tourist visa and grant me a 1year multiple entry....so I been in Australia back and forth...last June my tourist visa is expiring and because 0f covid19 we apply for visa extension bcoz by that time also border is close,so yeah they grant 6months extension ...and also we read news that the fly out/ fly in rule will be temporarily suspended??and take effect early this year.. Question,since my tourist visa extension is expiring can we apply a tourist visa again?? We honestly waiting for the fly out/ fly in rule news as of this moment..and flying out Australia right now for us is not ok bcoz of covid19 plus Australian border will not opening anything soon... So I hope you guys here could help me and my partner on what we should do next.. Thank you and God bless us all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Yes the concession was announced in November to grant offshore partner visas onshore, however it is only due to be implemented in "early 2021".... You may be able to get a bridging visa A (which is free), but i think you have to have held a valid tourist visa at the time you applied for the 309. I would check your 309/100 application in your immiaccount and see if the option for a BVA comes up. Otherwise you can apply for another (onshore) tourist visa as long as you dont have a no further stay condition on your current tourist visa. If you have a 'no further stay' condition then you need to get that waived first before applying for another tourist visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
