Rob Frain Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Just a quick one - as many of you know I've applied for a 189 visa and we're hopefully are the closing stages of this. I'm currently due a visit to Australia with just my daughter in October to see my sister get married and have a normal e-visitor 651 visa for this. What will happen when I get to Melbourne? Do they activate my 189 visa (If it's ready by then) or can i ask them to not do that and use the holiday visa? Will there be any problems if its just me and the daughter and not all four of us? Most probably panicking over nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make any difference that you are not all there, you and your daughter will then have activated PR visas, the others will be validated when they visit or move.

rammygirl Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 If you are granted the PR before travel it will override any other visa including the visitor visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
