Staying Longer in Australia: Personal Migration Advice

Extend a Visitor Visa in Australia

If you are visiting Australia and your plans have changed, seek advice before your current authorised stay ends. Your circumstances, travel history and existing conditions all matter. Do not assume that booking a consultation or having a matter under consideration gives you permission to remain.

Understand your current position

Have your grant notice, travel dates and any recent Home Affairs correspondence ready for your consultation. Rhys can help you understand the conditions recorded for your stay and identify the questions that need individual assessment before you make further plans.

Planning time with your partner or family

A longer visit and long-term partner migration involve different considerations. We provide personal advice about your circumstances, the evidence relevant to your plans and the issues you should understand before deciding on your next steps. No outcome or additional period of stay is guaranteed.

Changes in circumstances and health needs

Tell Rhys about changes to your family circumstances, pregnancy, health-related requests or approaching deadlines. Migration advice and medical advice have different roles: your treating clinician should guide medical decisions, and your healthcare provider can explain treatment costs. Do not assume that a deferred health examination changes your permission to remain.

Prepare for a useful consultation

Bring your current grant notice, identification, travel history, relevant correspondence and a clear explanation of why your plans have changed. We can discuss what further information is relevant to your circumstances rather than treating a general checklist as personal advice.

Clear advice and costs

Ask for a current written quote for our professional services. Any government charges are separate. Contact Rhys to discuss your circumstances and understand the decisions ahead.
