![Question](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello everyone,
I would like to ask some help from someone who already filled out the form 80.
I am not sure how to answer question 31(visa details of initial arrival).
I am a student visa holder now and started my course in September 2007. At that time I had a second working holiday visa and my student visa was granted in January 2008. I went back to my country in August 2007 and stayed there for two weeks.
In this case, regarding the initial arrival, should I write the date when I arrived in Australia with my first working holiday visa or the one before I started my course? Does the initial arrival mean the date with the current visa or the first time of arrival in Australia? I am confused and would appreciate it if someone had the similar experience and could answer my question.
Thank you!

Pollyana,
Thank you for the reply.
I was just wondering if it was still all right to write my FIRST arrival in Australia in 1995. It seems very old record, but I should take the meaning
INITIAL literally, shouldn't I?
Thank you again for your help.

Hi Super Moderator,
I am a paper based applicant and submitted form 80 during lodgement. But in his request letter for further documents, my CO sent me from80 as an attachment again without any instruction to fill it or not.
Now, do I need to submit form80 filled in again? If so, do I need to provide attested scan copy of the form or simply the form without being attested?
Your advise will be very helpful for me.
Thanks,
Mokaddem

![Question](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello again everyone,
I asked one of my friends who filled out the form 80 and was told that
we should write about details of the visa that is related to the current arrival. It means that for example someone came to Australia ten years ago
with a tourist visa and then they came back last year with a student visa
they should write about the student visa even though the initial arrival is
the tourist visa.
If someone has a similar case and already filled out the form 80 Q31, please
let me know what is correct.
Thank you for your help!
