Hi folks,

Bit of a tricky one here but would really appreciate some feedback.

I had a 457 application made by my company in Jan 2018 with my partner as a dependent on the visa. This was refused and subsequently went to appeal. I was put on a BVC and my partner a BVA.

My company have now decided to cancel the appeaI and I have subsequently left Australia with my partner due to leave in october, effectively cancelling our bridging visas.

We would like to re enter Australia in december for about 2 weeks on tourist visas to collect our belongings then fly back to Europe.

Is there any reason why we shouldn't be granted a tourist visa?

Search GTE.

As Westly has indicated, you'd need to satisfy the Genuine Temporary Entrant criteria of a visitor visa. It may be easier and far less expensive for your partner to take care of taking (or shipping) your belongs when they leave in October.

Well i satisfy the GTE. its just a question of proving to the department that this is the case. Not even sure if you can attached documentation for an evisitor visa?

As an afterthought, would a copy of the withdrawal of appeal plus itineary and a stautory declaration from my australian friend i would be staying with be deemed sufficient to satisfy the department?
