Hi, applying off shore from within Australia; does anyone have experiences to share how many days it takes to validate the PR visa in an overseas visa office once you are asked to leave Australia by pre grant letter? Many thanks

Hi Roubier:

You get your visa sticker from the overseas AU Consulate/Embassy, however you validate the first time you land in AU and go through immigration (your entry visa stamp is your validation). When you get your visa sticker it has a date on it by which you must enter AU to validate (i.e. must arrive no later than Dec 15, 2010).
