Every document, date and detail organised before you open the application
The residence requirement isn't complicated — it's just built on dates most people haven't kept a clean record of. This organiser reconstructs your visa history and travel absences, flags the gaps, and gets every identity, character and application detail ready before you touch ImmiAccount. A$79 one-time, instant access, 7-day money-back guarantee. By the end you'll have: • Your residence dates reconstructed in order, ready to enter into the official calculator • A complete travel-absence log with totals checked against the 12-month and 90-day limits • Every identity and character document gathered before you open ImmiAccount • A clear answer on whether an overseas police certificate applies to you, and why • A study plan for the citizenship test built entirely around the free official resource Reconstruct your residence dates once, then run them through the official calculator — Add one row per visa period held, in order, from grant letters, VEVO and passport stamps. This organiser lays your dates out cleanly and flags any gap — it does not calculate whether you meet the residence requirement. That answer comes from Home Affairs' own residence calculator, applied to your dates. Every trip out, individually — not the ones you remember — The application asks for every departure and return separately, and Home Affairs cross-checks this against its own movement records. Both the day you left and the day you returned count as absent days. Build the complete list here, then check your totals against the 12-month and 90-day limits using the calculator. The documents almost everyone loses time hunting for mid-application — Birth certificates, name-change evidence and overseas police checks are the usual mid-form scramble. Gather them before you open ImmiAccount — sessions can time out, and stopping to go find a document is the most common reason people re-do sections. The test is fixed-format — knowing that is most of the preparation — 20 questions, 45 minutes, drawn entirely from the free official study resource. No prep course or paid guide covers anything the resource itself doesn't. This organiser just makes sure you've found it and worked through it before you book. Migratio toolkits organise the information you provide — they never assess eligibility, calculate points or predict outcomes. For advice about your situation, a MARA-registered migration agent is the right professional.
Common questions
Does this tell me if I'm eligible?
No. This organiser never calculates whether you meet the residence requirement and never predicts an outcome — it gets your dates into clean shape. Use the Department of Home Affairs' own residence calculator on your actual dates, and speak with a MARA-registered agent if anything looks borderline. Migratio can match you with one free.
Is this migration advice?
No. It's a document- and date-organisation toolkit built from public Home Affairs requirements. It counts, it doesn't conclude — nothing here assesses your character, your documents' sufficiency, or your prospects.
I'm not sure if I need an overseas police certificate — will this tell me?
It walks you through the trigger (total time outside Australia since turning 18, and time in any one country) so you can check it against your own travel history. It doesn't make the final call for genuinely borderline cases — that's a question for the Department's current guidance or a MARA-registered agent.
