elbow271 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hey Guys, just got my visa granted after 8 months - BUT....ive got 6 months to visit Australia - Can anyone shed any light on this? Of course, there's no explanation from the notification other than i have to go before mid march 2019. What do i need to do, just fly there and come back? - what paper work do i need to take? Is there anywhere i can go read some stuff? Much thanks in advance folks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much thanks in advance folks You can fly there and go straight back, you can fly there, stay a while, then go back, or you can fly there and remain the country. You just need to ensure you go through Immigration and enter Australia to validate your visa. No need to take any paperwork or anything. If you wanted to, you could just go in the clothes you are wearing, go through Immigration and then check in and fly back on the next plane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
