Question about ETA....
Hi.
We are going to Oz on 2nd April for a recce and have organised the electronic visas for this.
Our problem is that our PR visa is looking like it may be granted prior to our recce according to our agent and if so we would like to get validated whilst we are over there.
I have read on here that you have to send off your passports to Australia House and it only takes a few days to come back so this is quite possible to do before we leave for our recce.
My question is if this happens how will we then stand with our PR visa and holiday visa as im sure you are not allowed to have 2 visas at the same time.
Am i right?
Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the PR visa just overrides the ETA. Our ETA was still valid for travel when we got our PR visa but it was not an issue when we entered the country.

Hi there, when we sent our passports off to Australia House we got them back in about 3 days. I hope that yours come back in time. Where abouts are you going, we will be in Brisbane (Going on 19th May for three weeks )

Re: Question about ETA....
I did sort of think that this would be the case with the ETA but as usual just needed reassuring!
I so hope we get granted before we go then we can validate too and its out of the way.
Hi grahampaula....we fly to Singapore 2nd April for 3 days then on to Sydney for 4 days eventually going to Brisbane Easter Monday.
We will then be there for 2 weeks and are staying in the house in Hendra belonging to Brisbane Bound.
We plan to have a good look around suburbs and also visit a few hospitals where i have a couple of informal visits lined up(i am a nurse).
Hopefully we can visit a couple of schools too in our 2nd week as my son is 9 and suss out colleges for my daughter who is nearly 18-although the idea of bumming around for a little while is very appealing to her after all her studying for her A levels!!
Whereabouts are you going to stay?
Hope you have a fab time.
