bringing friend over

[Guest sally]

Ive been over here 3 years on a permanant visa.

Ive had a friend out here from the uk who i have grown very close too, but he is 47, so to old for a work visa.

Hes been over on a visitor visa and living with me for 6 months, hes recentley had to go back to uk for a few weeks to sell his house ect ect.

 

Can he still come back on another holiday visa????

Were hoping once hes been here for a year we can apply for the de facto visa!!

 

Anyone have any idea???

He can come back on a holiday visa, but when he comes through, immigration may be more suspicious if they look at his recent passport stamps, and if he says he is coming to visit a girlfriend they can send him on the next plane home if they think he is wanting to eventually be a resident. Did he overstay his last holiday visa - thought you could only stay for 90 days?

I'd wait til you get Aussie Citizenship and then apply for a Prospective Spouse Visa.

47 is not too old for some temporary working visas - have a look at the immigration site.
