Another question can she marry on a tourist visa??? Thank you! Andy Firstly, being in Australia on a tourist visa is not an impediment to marrying. However, if your girlfriends visa has Condition 8503 attached to it (see her visa label for details), commonly referred to as the 'no further stay' condition, she is prevented from applying for an extension beyond her authorised period of stay in Australia. Condition 8503 may be waived only if exceptional circumstances exist beyond her control after she arrived in Australia. If you are thinking of getting married and then attempting to apply for an onshore spouse visa, then that is definitely not grounds for a Condition 8503 waiver.
