minbari73 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Is there any requirement in Australia that a Thai wife (or any nationality wife) must change their last name, on passport etc..to that of the husband? I've been told Finland has such a rule about this and if it's not donein a certain time the wife cannot enter Finland for 5 years, just wondered about Oz. Can't find anything on DIMIA site. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her passport must be in the name that she commonly uses....eg; on her driving licence, joint bank accounts etc...
