Travelling while 887 is being processed

[Shehan]

Hi all,

I'm a 489 Visa holder and have applied for my 887 visa. My 489 is expiring in 2022.

However because I applied for my 887 visa, I got the Bridging Visa A which is "not active" at the moment.

This is the 1st time I'm planning to travel out of Australia since we came.

My question is -
Do I need to inform Australian Immigration before I fly? As far as I know, I don't need to.

Also what will happen if my 887 PR visa was granted while I was out of Australia?

 

Please advise.

Thanks!

You don't need to inform immigration about your travel plan. 887 is an onshore visa, that means you need to be in on shore when you lodged and get PR. If you stay overseas 887 will not be granted unless you come onshore. Hope it helps.

Hi Maxzone, I have a question related to this topic, so if we apply 887 and waiting for the grant while we are out side of Aus, do they put us in queue again or just when we are back to Aus our grants are activated? Thank you
