Ok don't panic!

 

Question 30... on Form 80 (I've just loaded - I posted before, edited now 'cos I've found it!)

 

If you're planning to visit Australia prior to receipt of your visa then this does matter. If that's the case, and you're going just as a tourist, then it's the ETA (aka your holiday visa) you get from your travel agent at a cost of about £10 that you have to worry about here. They're valid for 90 days.

 

So the date it's valid from/to (e.g. If I've got an ETA that's valid for 90 days it's literally going to be 1st January to 2nd April 2009 - just as an example)

 

Basically, you really don't have to worry about these. If you've no intention of going to Australia before you get your visa, just leave it blank. Additional periods of stay won't count for you if you are going on holiday for a reccie or whatever.

 

That's a bit of a confusing question I know

 

Hope that helps!

Well, I'm in the UK. I had to fill it in.

 

Proposed arrival date I put the date I was going for my reccie

Place of arrival - Brisbane

Time as authorised on arrival - 21 days (or 90 days)

Purpose of journey - well that's obvious why you're going, to get a feel for the place

Additional periods is optional if you can put it

Proposed address: hotel etc

 

Or if you're not going for a reccie and just going for it, you can just adjust to meet your needs.

thankyou, so prospective marriage visa is for 9 months, would i put that down, or would i put down the amount of time i have left on that visa( it starts from date of medical etc etc, i think 21st july)

 

pruprose, to live with my fiance and get married

 

additional periods? permanent following a spousal visa?

 

who knows, ahr thanks luke for helping. it means alot to me, i have asked this quesiton before but no one could help me, or try too. so thankyou : )

I would say safest bet was 9 months from July 21st.

 

And purpose absolutely. Additional periods... yep permanent following spouse visa is my guess

 

Are you doing this alone without an agent then?

[Guest Nadjez]

yup i am doing it without an agent
