Hi i wonder if anyone can help us with this myself and my wife have perm visas which have been validated we have only just sold our house after a while trying during this time we had a little girl now my question is can we take her to Oz on a holiday visa then get her perm visa over here ? or do we have to get hers before we go she is 20mts old

If you are going on holiday, get her a holiday visa, but if you are actuall moving to AUs then she needs a Child Visa that allows her to live there

Do you know how long this will take ?As we already have our visas

James516

$1735, ouch. Good news is that if you get here within 6 months of her birth you should be eligible for the baby bonus. I think. Or maybe that's only for PR.

Hi

i am also in the same situation, we will have a baby in December, so if we go their within six month can we get baby bonus?

Very costly £1100 wow at least the paper work is sent to london instead of Oz just hope its nice and quick lol and she doesnt need medicals as only being 20mts

Shellyj

She will need a medical, although children dont need to have an xray.

Robbie37Michelle32

Because of her age and having spoken to Ozzy imm this morning the mediacal is by discression only

samsuchi

wow if u dont mind tell me the procedure

Shellyj

Same here because I'm just about to apply for my sons visa.

It was my understanding that all applicants and non migrating dependents of PR visas had to undergo a medical. immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheet

But then the helpline (if thats who you spoke to) is often not actually very helpful and give out some duff advice.

Hi my wife spoke to someone in London where they do the visa for children and holiday visas. The person said that she wont need an xray hiv test and may or may not need a medical.

Pollyana

You will need to apply for the visa, then if DIAC require a medical they will ask for one. They don't do HIV tests and Xrays on babies.
The helplines will only be able to give general advice - they can't deal with specific cases.

Also the time frame is 5-6mts to get visa

samsuchi

why is it too long? cant we discuss with co & express it?

Dorothy

Nope. The visa takes as long as it takes. Why the rush?
