GregBow Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi all I am currently working and living in Switzerland and have my Thai wife (together 8 years, married 3 years) and son (11 months) with me - all on B permits. We had planned before I took this position on hosting my Brother and family in Thailand next month but after 8 months to get all the Swiss residency in place have decided instead to visit them in Aus in January for about 3 weeks in Sydney. I have looked through history and used the search function but maybe not deep enough query if the answer is already on the site The query simply is that with us all in Switzerland as legal residents can we apply for Australian toursist visa for them from here? All responses from people with similar experiences and with knowledge of the process appreciated Many thanks Greg and Bow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first instance, you should contact the Australian Embassy in Berlin: AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY Wallstrasse 76-79 10179 BERLIN, Germany Tel +49 30 700 129 129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samran Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Does your son have dual nationality? Sounds like you are Australian if you have a brother in Australia. Why not get your son an Australian passport instead (or the passport which you are a national of). Would save the visa hassel for him at least.
