887 Visa - Proof of Residency

[Rumi]

Hi,

My husband and i are currently on a 489 visa. To apply for a 887 visa, please can you advise the acceptable evidence to show 2 year residency? Will phone bills+insurance bills+bank statement suffice? Since we are staying with relatives, we do not have a rental agreement yet. We are worried that the absence of a rental agreement might cause issues in our 887 visa application.

Thank you
Best,
Rumi

Hi guys, any update on this? I am also facing the same issue. I was staying initially with one of my relative, and hence do not have a rental receipt/agreement for a specific period? Did you find any information regarding this? Will bank statements suffice in this case?

Will bank statements suffice in this case?

In my opinion, bank statements doesn't prove your residency.
