Christa Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 15 hours ago, Biggsy said: Hi Christa not sure how much you personally have to pay but we were able to increase our BPAY limit to $100k in preparation. We chose to go into the bank (commbank) to do it while on holiday there last year. Not 100% sure but I seem to remember the person at bank saying we could increase the BPAY limit ourselves online! I believe $100k is the limit for none business accounts. I think you may also be able go into the branch in Australia to make the payment from your account over the counter. We have also done this at a commbank branch as the max total daily payment/transfer you can do for yourself is $20k. Hope this helps. Hi Biggsy, thank you for the advice but I'm not sure if HSBC work in the same way as Commbank. I will have to contact them on the phone but the advice they've given me in writing already is that the cannot increase the BPay limit. I'll let everyone know what they say. Thanks again Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this means a third party can pay as long as the visa reference number is quoted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Christa Hi @Christa, I think it should be fine. Why not let your sponsor who is in Australia do the payment? Afterward, you should send payment receipt to parent visa team as proof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh aron Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Any idea if someone on visa 143 can they apply spouse visa ? Is there any condition when they can apply ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMP Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yoo Hoo, I have been asked to pay the second vac! I’ve had a delay getting birth certificates from my stepdaughters and contacted Immi to explain. At the same time I admitted to being confused as to why they needed these, but confirmed I would send them as soon as I had them. They now say they don’t need them after all! So, all looking extremely good for everything fitting in with my planned return to the UK in February. I have been so lucky the way things have worked out. 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn’t spouse come over on original application? The government realised that people were getting a 143 visa then sponsoring partner in order to reduce costs. So now no application can be made for 5 years after 143 has been granted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can marry & sponsor for her partner straight away. the condition which you have to wait for 5 yrs normally applied to the case that only 1 parent come to Aus first while their partner still living in their country. As Linda said immi know people wanna reduce the cost for both you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
