No TM47?

@Greg *******

That was exactly what I said to Steve in this thread, which is precisely why it can be confusing, and hence checking is likely a good thing...

If nothing else it'll lower the burden on you main guys in here who answer 99%, no?

Re your prev job, probably explains why you're a 'group expert' and people have questions about intricacies. In some of the forums online and even in this one there's plenty of comments of people saying "well you didn't understand enough and now xyz has happened"...

@Greg *******

Correct, I probably am, nature of my job that I used to have.

It’s not letting me navigate to the comment of mine that you replied to - which part did/am I overthinking?

- If bouncing out and in <90 days stay, you can avoid 90d report (endlessly) *and* naturally get a new 180 per time.

This is correct, right?

@Steve *******

Not sure, it wasn't some deep theory I'd thought about. Just assumed from the odd comments here and there that there'd be something they'd not like about it for whatever reason.

That's interesting, good to know. And each time you do this on your eventual DTV you'll also getting a new 180 stamp I assume?

@Greg *******

Thanks a lot Greg, appreciated. Please ignore the "Top contributor" 😂

So:

- 180d per arrival

- if staying for >89 consecutive days, need to report. If <89, can bounce out and back in and avoid 90d reporting all together (for the full 5 year?)

- *if* one does bounce out and in, this will also naturally generate a new 180?

@Steve *******

Ah, didn't know the mailing. Thought it was in-person only for first time. Thank you - although not sure I'd trust the mail in.

Also didn't realise you can avoid 90d reporting if just bouncing out/in: Thought it was cumulative, not consecutive. I just assumed they'd have a system in place to prevent that.

@Greg *******

Thanks a lot, but I'm unsure if you're saying point 3 *and* the last part re extending is incorrect, or just the latter is incorrect.

"90 days after this reporting, fly out for a few days and come back in to get a new 180"

This is number 3? This is incorrect?

Or just the last part ("have a single one-use extension during the 5 years") is incorrect?

@Greg *******

"My current understanding is:

- 180 days per arrival in

- report (first time in person) after 85-90 days

- 90 days after this reporting, fly out for a few days and come back in to get a new 180

- repeat

*and you also have a single one-use extension during the 5 years, preventing need to fly out on one occasion, but will need to resubmit all paperwork etc. All others will need a flight out." ?

@Steve *******

Yeah, first 90 day report needs to be in person though I believe?

My current understanding is:

- 180 days per arrival in

- report (first time in person) after 85-90 days

- 90 days after this reporting, fly out for a few days and come back in to get a new 180

- repeat

*and you also have a single one-use extension during the 5 years, preventing need to fly out on one occasion. All others will need a flight out.

@Steve *******

90d reporting?
