Ive been reading posts here for quite a while and got heaps of imformation. I got a Thai Defacto and are now applying for a partner visa to Australia . I have known her for 6 years and she has had 2 tourist visas 676 one year multiple travel she has been to Aust 3 mths and 3 mths on one visa and 3 mths and 9 mths on the other she got a 6 mth ext. Now we are going for a partner visa but about 7 years ago she went to hong kong with a girlfriend and was not allowed in, put on a plane and sent back to thailand . When we put in for toursit visa we did not mention this . Also I dont know if my taxable income last year will be enought .My parents are older age and we live with them and take care with them and they provide board .

I undertstand from the highly education TV show border watch or whatever it is called that if they sent someone out of Australia they were not allowed to apply for another visa for periods between 2 and 5 years. (Probably depending on the severity)

Answering the question Have you ever been deported or refused entry to any other countrywrongly however is a different matter. I would suggest you answer it correctly on this application.

I don't think denial of an entry that long ago would matter very much. It is not the same as deportation which is a huge blackmark.

Also since she has already gotten other visas to enter and has left within the allowed time it would offset any old history like that.

Thanks to all the board members I got a lot of good info here and to Harry and Ubonjoe ...

Ubon I took your advise and now am happy to say visa granted everything wemt well took about eight weeks

At the Australian Embassy in Thailand it was all good they did a good job no complaints

They must have to put up with a lot of shit from some crazy Aussies and Thais from what I saw

didnt want to go on and on till I had something to say ...

Have you contacted Bridge Migration maybe he can offer you guidance.
