  • Hi, I am on 489 visa and I have applied for 887. My father has a history of hypertension and has a stroke recently. Can I get an inward exemption so that I can return to Australia.

    If I am not allowed to return will I be granted pr offshore?.

  • I am an Australian citizen looking to leave Australia to live with my partner in Germany. The distance is causing us a lot of emotional stress and we just want to be able to start our lives together like normal people. We were planning on getting married in November, I have the intent to marry certificate which I attached in my travel exemption request but it was sadly denied. I also signed a stat dec stating my reasons and plan to not return to Australia for at least 3 months. Can you please help me. I can't begin to describe the pain and frustration this is causing me and my partner.

  • I am trying to apply for an exemption for my de-facto partner/fiancee to enter Australia. She already has a visa and I have provided them with substantial amounts of evidence that prove the legitimacy of our ongoing relationship but they continually refuse to grant her an exemption. I do not know what else to provide to them.

  • Dear Sir, thank you so much for useful information. I am from Sri Lanka who is holding dual citizenship, I would like to leave Australia for more than 12 months, with one way air ticket. Do i have to apply for an exemption ?

  • I’m an Australian citizen and up until Covid our business has relied on us travelling to Europe at least twice a year to buy antiques. Since Covid hit we’ve had to rely on paying people I France Belgium and England to do the buying and sending of containers but we now find it’s time to oversee it ourselves .
    How much do you charge to apply and what information would you require for a positive quick outcome ?

  • I have an approved travel exemption dated August 2020 which I didn’t end up using. In the permit wording, it states I do not need to reapply if my travel dates change and I have t received any other correspondence since stating otherwise. On the Home Affairs portal however, it says exemptions are valid for 3 months only. Would my exemption still be valid because I have it in writing I don’t need to reapply? I think the rules around validity changed around Feb this year. Can these new rules be applied retrospectively to my exemption? I’ve tried calling Home Affairs about this but they were not very helpful and only knew about the 3 month validity rule.
    Thanks for any clarification you may have on this.

  • Hi Nilesh,
    I am a Australian PR holder. I want to travel to India in November 2021 for my own wedding which is on hold from past 2 year. If I delay any longer it could jeopardize my relationship. I want to travel for more than 3 months. Is there any possibilities to get exemption?

  • I am a permanent resident of Australia and residing here, my PR visa is electronically connected to my Canadian passport which i have used to enter Australia every time i came back from overseas when i was traveling for work pre covid. I also have a UK passport. Can I not just leave Australia on my UK passport with out an exemption?

    Thanks J
