Hypothetically, if my visitor visa expires tomorrow, and I am not 100% ready yet with all my documents for 820 application,
1. Can I just lodge my 820 application today and make payment and automatically receive a BVA straight away, so I'll have extra time to get my documents/uploads ready?
2. If so, how long do I have to upload all the documents/evidences through? (excluding medicals/police checks)
3. For medicals/police checks, is it better than we do them and upload them in ASAP? Or wait for at least 6 months so the 12 months validity covers for majority of the process timeline?
4. Also I'm a bit confused on health insurance part, I didn't see this as a requirement anywhere on immi website, but have found this as a requirement while searching other forums/websites. I don't have health insurance at the moment, and as I understand I can just put through the application and be granted with BVA, then apply for medicare straight away. Can I then upload my medicare through as health cover? If its needed on the list of things to upload?
Thanks,
Fiona
