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.

**** Flaming comments edited out **** She hasn't lost her permanent residency, because the RRV expired, She can apply for a RRV from Thailand., shouldn't have an issue going on the information you have provided. The immigration website provides the information. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/resident-return-visa-155-157#About

Its been covered here to ad nauseam, there has been no significant changes in the last 20 plus years.

No.

You can still be married to another person. Its not you getting the visa, nor are you sponsoring it. Its the Thai national that is applying for the visa.

From their website , seem to have no experience in what is required for a visa to Australia for a Thai National. From your post history, nor do you.

You would be better off not getting married (at this point in time) and applying now for a Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage visa. Even if you get married in Feb you can change it to a partner visa. But to answer your questions 1. Subclass 309 Partner (Provisional) visa 2. Yes, but you will need more then this. 3. Do it yourself, unless your hopeless at following simple written instructions or your/partners situation is complex. 4. Not relevant for a Partner visa, but full time employment doesn't hurt.

2 years or 3 years doesn't make much difference really, its still a hurdle you will have to overcome. So think about how you are going to address it and make sure you are across your timelines and the information you have provided in the past is consistent. Success for a visa will depend on a number of other factors also, which you haven't given any details on.

Their is no requirement that you have known your partner for 12 months for a Subclass 300 visa, there is a requirement that you evidence a history of your relationship and that you have met in person. Also be aware of the processing times for this visa.

This is pretty much spot on, getting a visa for a different girl 2 years ago and now after a visa for a new girl is a big hurdle to overcome and raises a lot of red flags.
