hello people,

wondering if HND +OND +ANAN Nigerian college of Accountancy (Association of national accountants of nigeria) CNA )certified national accountant certificate will suffice for vetassess?

I was also wondering if we get the perm migration visa ( my husband is qualified ) , and my husband, the principal applicant decides to stay back in Nigeria he's not quite convinced yet about quitting his job while the rest of the family stay in AUS, he will be coming to visit though, are there any penalities?

hello all,

I was wondering if we get the perm migration visa ( my husband is qualified ) , and my husband, the principal applicant decides to stay back in Nigeria while the rest of the family stay in AUS, he will be coming to visit though, are there any penalities?

1. Yes you can enter before the primary applicant. The privileges are the same...no difference at all. The visas are independent of each other, once approved.

2. I know the visa fees have been increased. But for 2 adults and 2 kids in 2014, the total was about A$6,300. Exchange rate fluctuates between 130-140 naira to 1 AU$.

3. The permanent residency visa is a bit tricky. I will just list out the points.
a. The visa itself is valid for 5yrs, if you intend travelling in and out. But at the same time, you can live in Aus indefinitely on the same visa, if you don't intend travelling out of the country.
b. If you intend travelling out and returning to the country after the 5yrs is up, and you don't have citizenship, you will need a RRV (Resident Return Visa). It is advisable to get it onshore before leaving. It takes just 1-2days if onshore, but up to a week if offshore.
c. But, to qualify for a RRV, you must have stayed a total of 2 years (it can be a combination of different short stays) during the 5yr period.
d. There are some exceptional circumstances where a stay of less than 2yrs can be accepted.
e. You have to validate your visa within 1yr of medicals and/or pcc.
