Shipping personal items before going

Just to clarify...a series x is an Xbox and a lgCX is a tv?

It's probably easier to just bring them on the plane with you. I've seen plenty of people bringing large TVs through airports so shouldn't be a problem. You just check them in as oversized baggage.

Probably best to do it that way. Might be cheaper and easier to just bring the ps5 in luggage as well.

I notice you're going on a defecto visa. I thought they were only allowing permanent residents and citizens in for now. When are you hoping to go as there doesn't seem to be any mention of when people on temporary visas will be allowed in?

I'm not saying your migration agent isn't telling the truth but as far as I know the borders are still closed for temporary visas.

I'd imagine early next year they will start letting visa holders back in again. Best of luck with it anyway.

Actually it is, you don’t need an exemption for some partner visas. Of course the visa would have to be granted first.

I am an immediate family member of an Australian citizen or permanent resident or New Zealand citizen usually resident in Australia

Entry to Australia remains controlled to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. You can only travel to Australia if you are exempt or you have been granted an individual exemption.

You can travel to Australia if you are an immediate family member of:

• an Australian citizen
• an Australian permanent resident (permanent visa holder)
• a New Zealand citizen who is usually resident in Australia.

You are only considered to be an immediate family member if you are:

• a spouse
• a de facto partner
• a dependent child
• a parent/legal guardian of a dependent child
• a parent of an adult Australian citizen or permanent resident (available from 1 November 2021).

You must apply for a travel exemption before you travel if you:

• do not hold a visa
• hold a temporary visa, other than a temporary Partner (subclass 820 or 309) visa or a temporary Child (subclass 445) visa
• hold a Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa. Exemption requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. An intention to marry is not enough evidence to show that you are an immediate family member of an Australian citizen or permanent resident or New Zealand citizen who is usually resident in Australia.
  • information regarding the applicable individual exemption criteria for subclass 300 visa holders can be found at travel restrictions and exemptions.

When you apply for a travel exemption, you must provide the Department evidence of your relationship. Please refer to ‘Examples of evidence that you can provide’ below for more information.  

Select ‘Apply for travel exemption’ at the bottom of this page to apply for a travel exemption and provide evidence of your relationship.

You will not be able to travel to Australia unless you have applied for and been granted a travel exemption. You will also need a valid visa to enter Australia.

Note: Partner (subclasses 100, 309, 801 and 820) and Child (subclasses 101, 102 and 445) visa holders do not need to apply for a travel exemption.

Hi, do you remember what you used for shipping and how much it was? Thanks
