jimcz 10 Posted February 16, 2011 It's really embarrassing but I'm confused how to answer the first question on the form 80. "Am I applying for a visa to travel to Australia as a": Migrant or "I'm applying in Australia for": Permanent residence. Both of them seem to be right to me. It's probably just a problem with my English but could somebody elaborate on what they actually mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RockDr 1,177 Posted February 17, 2011 The first one is to travel to australia, i.e. the applicant is outside australia. The second one is for people already in australia on a temporary visa, who are applying for PR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
