cuberoot Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looking for some advice. We have a relative staying with us (British Citizen), but lives in South Africa. She came into Australia on an ETA which is now nearing expiry. She is unable to return back to South Africa due to the travel restrictions. What should we be doing to extend her stay lawfully?

cuberoot Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Ok, thanks @paulhand Was hoping to avoid the costs, but I guess it's the best we can do at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expatriate123 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi, I have an issue other way round. I have a PR which expires Nov 2020 end. I am not sure when the travel restrictions will be removed. Will the Immigration authorities consider an extension of dealine to enter Australia. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 As a PR you can still enter Australia. If you are talking about the initial entry date on your visa then that should be no problem. If you are talking about the expiry of your visa, then no, you will need to apply for an RRV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
