Re: Active Visa In Out Of Date Passport.
Can't find a mention of costs just this reference in the FAQs:
http://www.immi.gov.au/faq/perm_res/02.htm#x8 "If your visa label is in a passport which has expired, you can continue to use the old label until it expires by carrying both your old and new passports when travelling. " |
Re: Active Visa In Out Of Date Passport.
Ok well if it says that on the FAQs its got to be how it works, so surly I dont need to contact the DIMA.
Especialy as Ive emailed them before and they have never got back to me! :mad: |

Nah for putting a new visa label into you new passport (once you have the old one and the new one with you) then its free!! It was for me at the Brisbane office a few months ago - there was no even wiff of a mention about paying a fee!! Jon |

A change in passport after visa has been validated does not need to be notified to DIMA. |
Re: Active Visa In Out Of Date Passport.
Jeremy, whats your view on Nedkelly's problem with the charge for his son's visa lable?

Re: Active Visa In Out Of Date Passport.
We had a slightly different situation where our 457 visa was granted electronically. Between the grant and actually travelling, my wife renewed her passport, and we were told to carry both.
No problems at Heathrow, but on arrival at Sydney we were 'detained' by immigration for 30 minutes. It was only when they realised that a 457 visa is transferable, and that we were not travelling on a tourist visa, that they allowed us through. |

Tell them what you have been quoted, and you by, and lets see what they say. Make it clear that you just need a reprinted label, NOT an actual statement confirming residence in Australia. Let the forum know the answer .......... |

I think the problem must be that there is no actual price defined any where for a new visa label so the staff then have to go into improvisation mode.
