Smiler Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hi I think I am having a dumb moment but after the time I have spent doing these application forms I think I am allowed to...perhaps.... Form 80 , question 36 - 'Give details of all visits (including short stays) to countries outside Australia for the last 10 years' I have been back and forth from England to Australia for various periods of time - do I have to put every time I have gone to England? (I live in Australia now on temp spouse visa) thanks in advance Smiler:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yes, you're expected to put every detail (you remember) onto the form. If you don't remember a best guess is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Don't worry too much if you don't remember all your trips, I think they are only looking for trips to some of the more "risky" countries to ensure you haven't picked up any bad ideas !:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy22 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yeah I also don't think it is critical to have all the exact dates, but you can always check on your passport for those depature and arrival stamps for dates:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 DIAC appreciate that you might not remember exact dates, but you do need to list all visits with estimated dates. Whilst they might not check every single detail on all applications, they are very thorough on those they do check and it isn't worth ommitting anything or lying. Honesty is always the best policy.

cat4er Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 How about multipe travel in Europe where you don't need a visa and don't have a stamp? Or you just got a brand new passport? How can one remember all these details? I know people who dig back through photos of their holidays and I think it is sick. Do you know why they need to know where you were in least 10 years? I think the form was created by some Australian whose only trip overseas in past 10 years was to Auckland. Average European migrant would visit 20+ countries in past 10 years and hardly remember the countries nor the dates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardy Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Honestly don't worry too much over it. If you miss some it won't matter unless it's a war torn/politically unstable country ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
