Note that you can only retrieve the TM30 within 7 days of submission

Pat Trick Be very careful with ChatGPT it should be considered as a tool to guide you not as a definitive source of information as it aggregates everything from the internet including wrong information.

I will keep my bankbook up my sleeve ( not literally 😀) just in case but I won’t show it to them unless they ask for it. I am planning to do stamp transfer and 90 day report ( first in person report after overseas trip) in the same visit to CW so I have made a late morning appointment for the 90 day report and will go early and do the stamp transfer first. I have already submitted a new TM30 with the new passport number so I will see how it goes.

@Tod ********

Thanks. That’s what I thought. I am going to do my stamp transfer to my new passport on 25th so I will report back afterwards. I will take my bankbook with me in case it is asked for so I am covered anyway.

@Tod ********

Is updated bank book also required when transferring stamps for an extension based on marriage or is it just required for retirement extensions due to the requirement to maintain a minimum balance throughout the year?

Appointment slots seem to open one month in advance

@Fred ********

You mean you got one of these? That’s odd.

@Fred ********

What was the reason given for rejection out of interest?

I would cancel your pending application and resubmit. Carefully check the details of your submission ( beware of autofill if using a phone) and ensure that they are correct and match the information on your TM30 exactly. Also make sure that you don’t submit on a day that the immigration office is closed ( Sat, Sun or Public Holiday). You didn’t mention when your report is due but be aware of the window of opportunity for online submissions which I believe is 14 days before the due date to 7 days before. Approval for online submission is normally within 24-48 hours in my recent experience.

Don’t you have to send them evidence of the current balance? Just sending three months statements wouldn’t provide evidence of the current balance would it?
