I checked and my visa level doesn't allow me. I think mine is spousal. But we looked it up and I didn't fit criteria. But I am permanent ?
Interesting, the "am I eligible to vote" things just say you are if you've been here 12 months and are entitled to stay indefinitely.
I guess one key question is, on a spousal visa, if you split from your spouse are you still entitled to stay here indefinitely? If not that may be why you can't vote. I couldn't find any information specifically on if you can vote on a spouse visa.
Been here 3 years and have a spousal indefinite visa but ird says ineligible. Might be wrong but not sure.
Im not actually sure on that. I'm guessing of we split I would need to reapply for a visa under a different rule. I would assume that's why
Yeah, if you can't keep your visa on your own, that makes sense I guess.
