talktosi Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Anyone submitted a request for letter recently ? Did you get any acknowledgement of request and how long did it take to process ? My wife has a 100 visa, need to delay entry date, submitted request last week but heard nothing. Cant enquire to home office online, called them but gave up waiting on hold for a long time( will get my Mum in Australia to try tomorrow) Nothing shows up on immi account. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Is it even possible to get a travel facilitation letter now? There are no border restrictions so what is her excuse for delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talktosi Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Not that it's any of your business but there are several REASONS for wanting to delay our entry to Australia, which are irrespective of the purpose of the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, the travel facilitation letter was created for people who can't travel due to Covid delays. I can see on the Home Affairs website that it still exists and frankly, I am surprised since there are no longer any Covid delays AFAIK. If Home Affairs are still being lenient then lucky for you, but pre-Covid they were very rigid about NOT allowing people to delay so I'm wondering how strict they're being now Edited May 26, 2022 by Marisawright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the travel facilitation letter for Covid reasons only? No excuse now. Could be lucky though I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystones Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 HI, I got my travel faciliatation letter approx 48 hours after submitting the request. This was in January. There was no acknowledge of recepit, they just emailed me with the letter (in pdf). I didn't need to provide any meaningful details as to why I wanted the letter. They granted it for a full year (Jan 2023) but I am travelling and activating my visa in August. Hope that helps, I assume the process is exactly the same whilst they are still offering the service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
