However I have contacted Singapore Airlines today and they seems to not knowing anything about this and said this is Embassy’s work You need to apply for Air travel pass on the Singapore gov website a couple of weeks before landing, maybe see if you can apply for one of those to allow entry?? I’ve looked at it but not gone through all the form . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest date I’ve seen is 2nd of June 2016 that’s been asked for further docs. Fingers crossed you will hear something in the new year. From memory processing slowed this time last year then in the new year lots were asked for documentation. Covid also slowed things down, look at my timeline. It’s just a waiting game and not a very nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alan, my daughter said the account matures November 2021 (5 years after it was lodged) so maybe it automatically renews for another five years (or she made a mistake of course).

Hi yes, mine used to renew every 2.5yrs because that was the term of the account that Commonwealth were using for AOSs at the time. It will just roll over. I was sent a letter each time asking if I wanted to change accounts, which of course you can’t with an AOS, obviously auto created by the bank systems. Make sure you keep paperwork with the bond number on for when you need to claim it back and keep any address changes up to date with Centrelink and the bank as the bank will write to your daughter when Centrelink tell them they can release the bond. I’m sure you are organised but these small details will mean a smooth return of the money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marg Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 For those onshore who have paid 2nd vac, has anyone looked into the possibility of flying into and out of NZ without staying ie transit only, like the Singapore solution but without having to quarantine at the Australian end?

Marg Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Bitten the bullet and booked return flights to Singapore in January. Very helpful guy from Parent visas rang to say he would facilitate the PR as soon as we passed through Australian departures and sort it out with border force so that we were allowed to board and would get both boarding passes, out and return. Says he has facilitated 4 others who have done this. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to fill in an air travel pass for Singapore ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveshe Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 So also pay for 2 weeks Quarantine when coming back in as well . I just find it odd that some guy from "parent visas" can issue you with Pr visas just like that , i was never informed i was getting it until i received it in writing .

I've been keeping a close eye on them and all their flights have gone from the UK so far so fingers crossed they carry on! I was thinking about you and how nervous you must be because I know how we feel! It really is a stressful time! They may decide we need to be tested before we leave but that seems like a small price to pay in the circumstances. We're hoping very much that we might get vaccinated before we leave and I'm sure everyone is hoping things improve drastically as the vaccine gets rolled out. Good luck - I really hope you make it safely on schedule 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The many times I've been in contact with Centrelink in April, May and July 2020 to get my AOS application handled I could never speak directly with the AOS team. It was always through the Employment Services phone number 13 28 50. I had to tell my story again everytime to the agent who took my call. Good luck, you can always try the Complaints number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiz33 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi, does anyone here NOT have a birth certificate, but have been successful in obtaining a long stay visa for their parents ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysVet Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 We are planning to make our first entry. The only thing is we cannot fly directly to our final destination. I understand that if we arrive in Sydney, we are to be quarantined there for 14 days. Just my curiosity, Can we fly to Melbourne after the quarantine or do we have to go for another quarantine in Melbourne. Would someone please enlighten me?
