Hi.

Can anyone tell us if my Aussie boyfriend and I can apply for a partner/ de facto visa when in Oz if I'm on a 3 month tourist visa? Will they allow a bridging visa if it takes more than 3 months to get the visa?

I know it costs $2060 to apply in Oz. Do you still have to do the medical and police checks if you're based in Oz at the time? I get the general impression that it would be much easier to apply in person at an appointment with an immigration official. Where is the best place to do this and any idea how long would this process take - I have to consider that I would be unable to work until I had the partner visa granted.

If not we can apply whilst we're still here in the UK.

Thanks

Hannah
