scarlet mia Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi We fly to Australia in August this year to make the permanant move. I was just wondering if anyone knew or had any idea how long family can stay when visiting us. Thanks Karen x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Depends what kind of visa they get - but you can get a 3, 6 or 12 month visitors visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlet mia Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi thanks for the reply. I didnt realise they would have to have a visa to come for a holiday. I think my mum would like to come for 3 monthe at a time when she visits. Do you know the maximum length of stay is before you have to have a visa. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again One can get an e-visa--just apply online and they will issue it in a couple of days. Valid for 3 month visit in the next 12months if I am correct--its there on the immi website.

Thanks again You have to apply for a visa for any visit to Australia. UK citizens can apply for an eVisitor visa online for free - this is the simplest.

Quoll Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Mine went to Australia every year for 6 months and did that for 15 years before they decided that, at 80, their health was making travel insurance out of the question and the trip was getting a bit much for them (arrive in Aus in October, leave in March) but it worked for them while they could do it. You need a visa of some sort to just set foot in Aus and wont be allowed on the plane at the other end if you dont have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
