Guest plinkabob Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hello. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this is possible... I am here on a working holiday visa (I am british). My partner is Australian and we are planning to apply for the defacto visa. We have only just started sharing a house where both our names are on the bills and lease etc even though we have been living together for 6 months already and been in a relationship for one year. My visa will expire in June which leaves 3 months until the full year of the proper evidence we will need to be successful in our application. Anyway, I am planning on finishing my education and was wondering if it would be a good idea to leave Australia when my visa is up and then apply for a student visa straight afterwards meaning that not only can I finish my studies but also have more than enough time to get things ready for the defacto visa. On the immi site, on the page for studend visa obligations, it says ... "'No further stay' condition Some visas are issued with a 'no further stay' condition. This condition means that you cannot apply to stay in Australia beyond the date specified on your visa, except in extremely limited circumstances." Does that mean that my plan is useless or does it depend entirely on the student visa I would need as it does say "some visa's" not "this visa" Anyway it would be a great healp if you could help me. Thank you so mcuh Helene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Lass Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The 'no further stay' condition means that you must travel offshore to apply for any other visa. In plain English this means you need to be anywhere but Australia to lodge a new visa application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connaust Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 If you are British, or of a nationality at Student Visa Assessment Level 1, you can apply onshore. NFS or No Further Stay can apply to AL2 (unlikely), AL3 (for up to 40 weeks study). AL4 have no idea, never dealt with one Also keep in mind you can study a lot of different courses, with huge difference in cost from AUD2500 (private Vocational), AUD4500-5500 (TAFE state Vocational) to AUD15000 (university) for half year.
