Hi, the Subclass 870 Visa sounds hopeful regarding my circumstances. I’m wondering whether, although I’d not be able to work in Australia during my stay under this Visa, would it be possible to earn my income through overseas activities, run online from home in Australia? In other words, a home based online business with overseas customers, or perhaps home based online employment with an overseas employer?
Kind regards, Mike
Good morning. My widowed mother is 82 years old. Relatively in good health. We want to apply for an 870 visa for her. Would her age be a concern? Thank you for your help
