bridge Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 An interesting article in today's Sun Herald. Whilst not specifically Thai related, it is particularly relevant to this forum. I have posted previously on the issues raised in this article, and that is the importance of evidencing that a genuine and continuing spousal relationship exists when applying for an Australian partner visa. A marriage alone is not enough proof. Anyone applying for a partner visa should be familiar with Regulation 1.15A of the Migration Regulation 1994 that provide for the circumstances to be taken into consideration in determining that a genuine relationship exists.

Will27 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Hi Bridge Interesting article that's for sure. Hard to make a balanced decision on it without knowing all of the facts. One thing is for certain though, once the applicant left Australia whilst on the bridging visa, she never had a snowballs chance in hell of getting another tourist visa.

gburns57au Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 She has only spent about a year of the last 4 years since marriage in Oz....hardly proof of an ongoing and genuine relationship. People like this P*** me off.....running to the media in an attempt to try and force the governments hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
