mijan24 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 A general question on divorce? A friend married a young thai girl who he met in Pattays. Married up in a village in Issan registered the marriage at the Amphur and also registered the marriage at the Australian embassy in Bangkok. The girl had a son from a previous marriage and steps were taken to adopt the boy, the new wife fell pregnant and had a second child here in Thailand. Twelve months went by and they were off to Australia - immigration visa times did not suit so suddenly divorce (at the local amphur) car and furniture sold proceeds divided the friend then with mothers full support takes the new infant to live in Australia. Within one month of exhusband and child departing she now applies for a tourist visa to visit Australia, is offered 6 months but will require a medical checkup so opts for the 3 month version (approved). Questions - 1. Does he have to notify the Australian embassy of the divorce (signed by both partys at the local amphur)? or can they be divorced in Thailand but still married in Australia? 2. Can she legally travel to Australia on a tourist visa stating she is married and visiting her husband and son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inzman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The divorce at the amphur is perfectly legal and recognized by all other countries. Just as the marriage at the amphur was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punch Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hello, I am sure the divorce is final once ist happend in Thaialnd, there is a 2 year time frame that she can still make a claim for assets ect here in Oz though. Once she gets here she may be able to try and get assistancefromf the government to stay. After all her child is now an Australian. This could open up a tin of worms for your mate. Maybe because she will only be on a tourist visa they might say go away. There is a whole net work in Oz to help so called poor disadvantaged migrant women. I also can not see here getting a tourist visa with out a sponcer, so if your mate is thinking about that then he is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The OP has already stated that the 3 month visa has been approved. I don't know why OP is questioning why she can "legally" travel on a tourist visa when it's already been granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadbin Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 They got divorced because the visa times did not suit them? Doesn't sound like a marriage built on love and strong foundations to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mijan24 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I started to understand you but lost it on the 2nd bit. This bit.... Twelve months went by (husband was on a fly in flyout rotation) and they were off to Australia -ASAP (prior to xmas 2012 was the plan. Married visa times (12months normal processing time for immigration to Oz did not suit so suddenly divorce (at the local amphur). Wife supported this action and supported husband taking child to Oz.leaving her here with her other child. Within 1 week of husband departing with the baby Wife now applies for a tourist visa to visit husbnand and child in Oz Questions relate to legality/morality of getting to oz this way??
