Australia’s modern electronic visa system does not require you to have a visa label placed in your passport to confirm your immigration status and entitlements in Australia.
From 24 November 2012, if travellers still need or request a label they will need to pay a fee for it. This cost for a visa label is called the Visa Evidence Charge (VEC). Travellers can only request and pay for a visa label if they have a current Australian visa. Regardless of when a visa application was lodged, or a visa granted, anyone who requests a visa label after 24 November 2012 will be charged.
The charge for a visa label is AUD70 although there will be exemptions to the VEC for humanitarian, diplomatic and government sponsored visa applicants.
To facilitate your travel to Australia make sure you print out a copy of your visa grant notification letter. When you check-in to fly to Australia, airline staff will refer to your visa grant letter and passport to electronically confirm that you have authority to travel to Australia prior to boarding the aircraft.

Since provisional visa tayo and we'll have to satisfy "at least 2 year residency and at least 1 year employment" before we can apply for PR. Kung sakali ako yung maka-satisfy nun I can just apply for PR and make them as my dependent or lahat ng applicants for PR needs to satisfy the "2years and 1year".
Hope you can clarify. Thanks in advance.
Fellow 496ers, meron ba kayong kilalang naka provisional visa na nakapag apply na for PR? Hope someone can share his/her experience. Thanks

May friend ako na 496 na naPR na last 2012.. Dun sa unang apply nila na 496, sya ang primary applicant. Pagdating nila sa Melbourne, si hubby nya ang naka satisfy 1 year full time employment, kaya sa pag apply nila ng PR si hubby na yung primary applicant..
