OK, here’s some first-hand experience: you have no idea what you’re talking about. A Visitor visa (subclass 600) has six separate streams. You’d know that if you actually read the Department’s website instead of parroting misinformation from dodgy agents. The agent you promoted "Key Visa" clearly demonstrates they don’t understand even the basics. They claim they can help “sponsors” get a Tourist stream visa approved for their “Thai lady”. That is completely wrong. There is no sponsorship mechanism in the Tourist stream. None. Only the Sponsored Family stream involves sponsorship and it’s restricted to immediate family members only. Not girlfriends. Not fiancées, Not Thai Partners and Not “Thai ladies”. Misrepresenting this is not just misleading, it’s grounds for visa refusal. So yes, I was entirely correct. If you try to “sponsor” a Tourist stream visa, it will be refused. The site you linked confuses two separate streams and gives incorrect guidance and uses incorrect terms. That makes them incompetent. Next time, check your facts before trying to lecture someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

Terrible advice here. They clearly have no idea what they are doing, they claim to help with a sponsorship letter for a tourist visa for your "Thai lady" (their words btw). But you can only sponsor a tourist visa to Australia for a family member. They can't even get the simple basic's right. Just do the visa yourself, its all online and straight forward.

Sometimes the truth is harsh. Would you prefer to be told incorrect information just to make you feel better? It's the wrong visa to apply for. There would be little reason for you to apply for this visa in the first place, as it is generally intended for people who have been refused visas or have immigration issues, and it comes with more restrictive conditions because of this. Why did you apply for it instead of the correct visa for your circumstances? If you apply for the correct visa, you shouldn't have any issues.

Exit on the Australia passport.

Its pretty simple, you applied for the wrong visa, apply for the correct one.

Being lazy won't help unless you have a lot of money to spend on this.

Yes.
