Hello everybody,
My husband (primary applicant) finally got visa 475 WA and he has been asked to make first entry into Australia before 23 Ocober 2012. Myself and my daughter are secondary applicants. Is it necessary that we should also make our first entry before this date? If not, then what is the latest date by which we both should make our first entry?

Hi Mitul -

All applicants (ie family members) on the visa must enter Australia by the first entry date - by law, the first entry date cannot be changed once the visa is granted. But the entry can be for as little as a day - there is no requirement that you stay in Australia, just "enter" Australia, which technically means passing through customs and immigration at an Australian airport, etc. Once you've done this and validated your visa, you can come and go as you like depending on the conditions of your visa.
