one year extension 475 visa
Hi all,
I am willing to extend my 475 visa for 1 year in order to meet 887 visa eligibility. If i apply for a 489renewal visa for 1 yr - on which date the extension would be granted ? Is it on the initial entry date or on Visa grant date.
Regards,
Kk

Re: one year extension 475 visa
The answer is in the other thread you posted in - http://britishexpats.com/forum/immig.../#post11402623 (from visa grant date)
If it is visa grant date then do I have any other visa I.e., bridging visa which allows me to stay few more months so that I can complete 2 years of stay in Regional area and become eligible for 887 visa. Please revert.

Re: one year extension 475 visa
You can't just apply for a bridging visa, they don't work like that. If you cannot meet the criteria for the permanent stage before your extended visa expires then sadly it has all been a waste of time. Holders of the 475 or 489 need to move to Australia promptly.
