@Ling ****

maybe any of the soft power options could surely work 🤔👍😄 eg; medical appointment

Yeah it makes much more sense than O based on retirement and all that entails.

@Colin ********

wrong again mate! You need to research a “lot” more. Plenty arrived on DTV already. It started 15.07.24. Nearly a month ago sheesh. Seems you’re a glass half empty guy. Even Tim said similar things, did you see his live DTV where he discussed many of these issues even though he said he has no idea and not an expert. There are already many posts of people getting and arriving on DTV soft power approvals too. Are you saying they are fake or something?

Maybe get informed before stating things you are clearly ignorant of.

@Colin ********

I think those that already got it and entered are pretty relevant plus many writing about their approval process so yes you stand corrected for sure 🤣

Wow might change from Retirement to this!

If it an O-A from Oz and you’re on your 1st year (as you said it’s multi-entry), why don’t you leave and return just before it runs out? Go to a neighbouring country and back in again. You’ll get almost an extra year out of that visa by doing that.

Note, you won’t have multi-entry on the 2nd year but easy enough to get. You’ll also need to extend your compulsory insurance. No need to prove 800k in your Oz bank either as you’re on your original O-A visa! 😀👍

@Terry *******

no. Just has to be in 2 months before applying if it’s the 400k banked method and possibly 1 month after till you get your stamp

@Jacinthe *******

yes I’ve been spreading the word that even if first time reporting it’s worth a try

Try the online website not app. I’ve done it successfully after a few try’s, worth a shot!

@Brandon ***********

yes very good advice, especially trying multiple times online. It may be wise to update your TM30 online too if you can just in case a hotel booking has over ridden it although they say it shouldn’t matter 😂😀
