Subclass 189 Can you be overseas when 189 visa which was lodged onshore is granted

[Sweettuna]

Hi all,

I recently submitted my 189 application in Australia. My current visa is still valid until 2022 and I have plan to travel overseas in March.

Can I be overseas when the visa is granted? Will there be any problems?

Thanks!

According to DHA

You can be in or outside Australia when we decide your visa application but not in immigration clearance. We will let you know our decision in writing.
