ash_kumar 1 Posted November 17, 2021 I applied parents visa (600) on 18th Oct and then travel exemption on 10th Nov. Visa was granted Yesterday (16th Nov) but Still waiting for exemption to granted. Any idea why exemption isn't granted as yet? Also, anyone had their parents visited from India to Melbourne? Is there any other formality? Like covid-test, quarantine etc? any suggestion would be highly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there are and they are constantly changing… you should check both the Department of Home Affairs and the VIC government websites for up to date, accurate information (and bear in mind that it may change, so keep checking until they get on the plane). ____________________________________________________________________ Paul Hand Registered Migration Agent, MARN 1801974 SunCoast Migration Ltd All comments are general in nature and do not constitute legal or migration advice.

ash_kumar 1 Posted November 18, 2021 @paulhand thank you. Have you seen any case where Exemption come after visa is granted? I thought the trigger for visa approval is Exemption application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulhand 957 Posted November 18, 2021 It’s all over the place at the moment and we are seeing visas now being granted without the exemption being granted. ____________________________________________________________________ Paul Hand Registered Migration Agent, MARN 1801974 SunCoast Migration Ltd All comments are general in nature and do not constitute legal or migration advice.
