Australian Partner Visa For Thai Wife

[ags83]

Hi all,

We are currently in Australia with my wife on a Tourist visa. I'm after some good resources / posts for info on applying for a partner visa.

I am specifically wanting to know what extra documentation is required for a partner visa relative to the doc's required for a tourist visa (Thai police clearance, health checks ??), and also how much time remaining on the tourist visa do you need when applying for the partner visa.

Thanks for any help.

Let's start with the basics ... does the Visa have a 8503 'No Further Stay' condition ?

Others will wander by and add detail.

Well David48

Seeing as the OP was asked the same question 3 times when he asked the same question last month

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/596980-need-some-help-understanding-what-australian-visa-my-wife-has/

(specifically see post #8), and failed to answer it, lets just assume the visa doesn't have 8503.

OP, all of the information you require is here

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/601928-oz-permanent-residence-visa-possible-while-in-oz-wtourist-visa/

And as for the last part of your question, she just needs to apply while the tourist visa is still in effect.

Once the toursit visa ceases, she will go on to a bridging visa.

Regards

Will

^^ ... thanks Will for the heads up ... the OP is that poster.

I always try and play the ball and not the man.

Maybe one of the Mod's might be able to steer the OP in the right direction ...
