The initial entry date (stated on your visa) is the date by which you must travel to Australia on your visa. This date is calculated based on the validity of your health and character clearances. These clearances are usually only valid for 12 months.
If you (and any members of your family included in your application) do not enter Australia by the initial entry date, you will breached a condition of your visa and consideration will be given to canceling your visa.

What's the status of your visa application na po? Kasi if visa granted na kayo, IED will be clearly mentioned in your visa grant notification letter.

Ask ko lang how am I going to proceed sa 457 visa application ko po? I am a contract employee po of an Australian company for 2 years now. Yung company po nominated me to apply for the 457 Temporary Skilled Visa. Sa checklist po kasi nang immigration meron po about sa Heatlh Insurance Certification,kailangan po ba ako ang mag-apply nito or my employer? Hindi po ba pwde na any health insurance from the Philippines po? I am planning to lodge my application through online but then I wanted to have enough knowledge po sana how am I going to apply. I have my documents, except po sa health insurance certificate.
Salamat po ng marami.
