Why do you have to validate?
Just trying to figure out the reason behind validation.
Why doesn't DMIA just grant the visa and give a 5 year window to migrate? What is the validation all about?
This is probably one for JAJ so I may bump this up later.

However a decline in health does not cause visa cancellation.
The point about validation is that when you get a visa you are expected to use it before your health has a chance to decline. The fact it's possible to validate with a holiday and move later is more of an accident of the law rather than a deliberate policy decision.

[QUOTE=JAJ]Firstly - PR can be (and often is) cancelled for committing crimes after visa is granted.

yes and it's also a nice way of bringing extra money in as our visa trip with spending money cost about £8000 or $20,000 but don't get me wrong i still think this is a small price to pay to live in australia,we love the place

But - I am somewhat reluctant to say this - you could commit a crime in your home country and the Australian government need never find out and....
isn't the 'accident' (of the law) negated somewhat by the fact that a 5 year window is given? Why not be really strict and give 3 years (or even 2) from the date of validation?

Re: Why do you have to validate?
We found this an issue having 5 kids 3 of which were adult fares.....hence i found the house selling far more stressful than the actual waiting for the visa to go through.....just because we didnt want to have to pay validation costs....return flights for us proved to be mega money along with the holiday package and the living costs at home whilst you are away....
Fortunately we sold our house in the August.....and we moved in with my mum until we were ready to go in october...so this wasn't an problem..... but fully sypathise with people who this affects. Timing plays a huge part in the process.... some people think that they are doing the right thing by completing their meds and PCC to push their application but don't put their house on the market - luck of the draw i'm afraid...whilst sum are left smilin others are left short on validation time.

Can I ask, how will this affect you if you ever want to visit family in the UK? We find it incredibly hard with 3 kids and we both work.

but getting to what you are askin..... we cant afford to pay for return flights (5adults and 2 children) for the sake of a short break back to the uk so we are banking on mum traveling to see us....but she is putting off a visit in hope that we will return home....Christmas was hard as i expect it was for most newbe expats....
