Does your visa have a ‘no further stay’ condition on it?

You can apply to have this condition waived.

I like technology. The invention of the iPhone has meant that I can stay connected wherever I am and whatever I am doing. This has come in handy when travelling in remote regions (for example, when my motorbike broke down half-way up a mountain in remote Bali). Less handy when trying to sneak off for a surf during ‘work from home’ Mondays.
So, you would be forgiven for thinking that I would be excited about the Department of Immigration’s recent announcement about the introduction of online lodgement for Partner visas in December 2013.
