DTV Approval - Canberra, Australia.

I am a New Zealand resident and passport holder but applied from Australia as we are travelling here atm (lucky timing considering the insane pricing at the NZ embassy).

I applied for the DTV for myself under the workation banner, with my husband and kids as dependents.

I submitted my application on August 27th and was asked for further information on August 30th.

The further info required was:

Other request documents: Remote Working Details Document (To clarify your remote working details)

Other request documents: Proof of Your Address in Australia

For the Remote Working Details Document, I put together a PDF showing how my business operates, all written in the third person and describing how it makes money and is run remotely.

I added screenshots of my business website and company registration from New Zealand.

For proof of address, I added the invoice for the place we were staying at the time from Booking dot com. Note that this was not my permanent place of abode.

My visa was granted on 11 September.

I then applied for my husband and kids on the 12th of September.

Again, they requested further docs (but only for one of my kids) on the 19th of September.

Other request documents: Proof of Your Visa Status/VEVO in Australia

I rang Home Affairs/Immigration to get a VEVO for my child but was informed that they don't do them for kids, so I submitted our original Qantas ticket showing entry for all of us into Australia, with a note on the pdf stating, "VEVO not available for child as per Home Affairs Australia, however, this flight confirmation shows our flight entering Australia - including (child name)."

Later that same day (19th September), my husband and eldest child were approved, and my youngest was approved on the 22nd.

I showed a screenshot of our managed fund in New Zealand for financials. I did not want to withdraw from the fund to show the funds in our bank account, but I would've if they insisted.

Luckily, they didn't. I used the same screenshot for all four of us.

I didn't have a flight booked, and they didn't ask, but I did book the flight I stated in the application, just not til after approval.

Hi everyone From Australia

Just question to those who have applied for Resident return visa (RRV) subclass 155/157 for their Thai partner

My wife’s RRV is about to expire in 2 weeks time and I contacted an Immigration agency and asked what documents would I require and they gave me a list of everything I needed as proof of tax, super, pics, passports, lease agreements etc to submit, I also asked a friend if they needed to submit the same when they applied and they said they weren’t required to submit any of that, they just submitted online and payed the fee and that was It and was granted an extra 5years

I’m confused, I just want to be prepared just in case I do need to submit extra documents once I payed also do I need to submit another application for her daughter who is 14y or it come under my wife’s application, I do realize I need to pay 2x

Thanks
