Visa granted - what if we divorce??
We've had our visa granted (136 MODL) and are going to Oz in a couple of weeks to validate with a view to going permanently sometime in the next couple of years.
I am the primary applicant and my husband has asked me what happens if we get divorced before we relocate permanently - can he still go on his own? Does anybody know?
(By the way, I hope it's just a general wondering that he had rather than a specific plan!)

Re: Visa granted - what if we divorce??
I understand that once a 136 visa is validated with an initial entry then each person with a visa is treated as independent PR
So if you walk out the Australian airport and get run over by a bus your husbands PR is still valid, but if you get run over by a bus in the UK on your way to the airport then his visa wont be valid

Oh Ok!! - Good to know - not planning on divorcing but I keep threatening hubby that he can't get rid of me for 2 years before I get my citizenship as we are here on his visa - won't tell him that now he could actually get rid of me before that if he wanted (we are here on permanant visa!!)

I couldn't wait to tell mine when he threatened to send me back on my own.
