Australian Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) is current but wish entry just before expiry. Period of stay says 3 months on entry?

[Thaifish]

I just started filling out online a new Australian Visitor Visa application (Subclass 600) for my Issan Luv Machine and berger me dead a pop up window came up during application saying a Visa is already valid!! I Follow the au/gov link thingy "Visa Entitlement Verification Online" (VEVO)  and sure enough the entry Visa is still valid.. Problem is the Visa expires 5 days before arrival on a 1 month planned holiday.. So now to save a few $$ on a new application and filling out all the forms with half lies (sshhh) I'm thinking I am reading what I want to hear and not what the valid Visa is saying. So the current Visa from what I am reading between the lines again is saying if she arrives on the last date of Visa she can stay for 3 months extra after the actual Visa expires. The VEVO says "Period of Stay"....03 Months on each arrival...! and "Multiple entries to and from Australia during validity of your Visa"...

Can my Terak enter Australia with Only 5 days remaining on Visa given VIVO is saying 3 months granted on each arrival? We wish to stay for 1 month only. Sorry if I am not clear on my question....

Visa says when must enter by from memory.

Read the visa details. It will say.

[jack71]

If you go to the old approval letter that was granting the 3 year visa doesn't it say something along the lines of the fact that the visa holder must be out of the country before the expiry date?

 

If I were you I would send a copy of that letter/ info via email to the Oz consulate in bkk and ask them for an answer.

@Sparktrader Yeah.... To me I am reading what I want to see... not what Ozz Imm reads.. They are not clear on what happens after visa expires and you enter just before it does. Does Visa last for 3 months after??

When you want to enter to Thailand there is a condition about validity of your passport. All you have to do is ring Thai embassy without giving your name and get the answer. 

If it is OK then you have plenty of to apply for a new passport in BKK once you get here.

The OP is asking about the validity of a visa for entry into Australia, not the validity of a passport for entry to Thailand.

Just an update. I have sent an e-mail to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs with my query. 5 days and counting for a reply.

[Thaifish]

Well berger me again.... got a reply from Foreign Affairs already. So I have the answer. Cut and past e-mail below.

Dear xxxxxxx

 

Thank you for your email, to answer your question, Yes, you can enter Australia before the 18^th of February and Yes, you can remain in Australia for up to 3 months from the date of entry.

 

So if you enter Australia on the 13^th of February 2023, you can stay in Australia until 13^th of May 2023.

 

I trust this information helps to clear up any confusion.

 

Regards,
