I am unable to travel before the initial entry date expires. How can I extend the validity of the initial entry date?
Where the visa holder cannot enter Australia before the required entry date, the following applies:
-
Permanent visa holders (including subclass 309 visa holders) may still be able to enter Australia at a later date as long as the visa remains valid, and they continue to meet all other requirements and visa conditions. When you can travel, let us know by submitting the travel facilitation letter request form.
-
Temporary visa holders (including subclass 300 visa holders), will need to apply for a new visa.
