Migrating To Australia

[thommo46]

After info on bringing son to Australia.

1.Have tempory spousal visa and have been living in Aus.1 year.

2.Wife has son(6y/o) still in Thailand and wishes to bring him to live in Aus.

3.Put sons name on Spousal Visa Application and has had medical and police check.

4.Do we need to apply for child visa 445 or can just get thai passport for him and fly to Aus.

5.Cost for visa 445 is $215,but if on first spousal visa we should not have to apply for 445.

6.If so do we take his new passport to Aust. Embassy to get stamp so that he can come to Aust.

7.Son has Thai Father and is willing to sign Stat.Dec. for him to leave Thailand.

Thanks.

From what you have stated, the son was included as a non-migrating dependant. You will therefore need to apply for a subclass 445 visa an obtain consent from the father, or have a court order that the mother has sole custody.
