To be eligible for the 820 and 801 visas, the applicants are required to meet certain health and character requirements, including partaking in a health exam and providing police clearances from other countries lived in and signing an Australian Values Statement.
The lodgement process for both the temporary
and permanent visas occurs at the same time,
however they are processed in two stages,
two years apart. An applicant is eligible to
lodge the 801 (Permanent Visa) two years
after the lodgement of the 820. The subclass
820 visa allow the applicant to stay, work
and study in Australia until a decision has
been made on the permanent subclass 801
visa. It also allows the applicant to enrol
in Medicare, Australia’s health care scheme.
Dependent children can be included in the
application (child visa applications) but
other independent relatives are not eligible
for inclusion.
