Key Points
- Arrival Date vs. Stay Duration: The "Must Not Arrive After" date is the final day you are permitted to land in Australia, while the "Stay Period" is the number of months you are allowed to remain in the country starting from your date of arrival.
- Importance of the Grant Notice: It is critical to read the entire visa grant notice because it specifies whether your visa is single entry or multiple entry and outlines the conditions you must follow.
- Avoiding Cancellation: Misunderstanding these dates can lead to being barred from boarding at the airport or visa cancellation; therefore, it is best to consult with experts or refer to the Department of Home Affairs website.
