Tiamilo 10 Posted July 12, 2022 Hi, my Mum is in Australia on a 651 visa but we are applying for a contributary parent visa which we are hoping to hear about this week. If by chance we don't Mum will have to leave the country at the beginning of August but can return. Is there a set amount of time she has to be out of Australia before she can return to Australia or can it just be for a weekend away for example to N.Z?

Joanna1312 0 Posted August 29, 2022 Any updates? I have exactly the same question...what did your mum do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiamilo 10 Posted August 29, 2022 Hi Joanne, fortunately the visa came through on time so we didn't have to do anything. We had checked with our immigration agent though who said some Mum would need to leave but that could be flying to N.Z sitting in the airport and catching the next flight back!

Not recommended as you would risk having your visa cancelled on your return to Australia for not being a genuine visitor.

The original question is irrelevant as you stated that the visa came through in time. I posted as the advice in your post to go to New Zealand, wait at the airport and return on the next flight is not ideal.
