My partner applied for De-facto visa about a month ago & after only 3 days after got an email requesting biometrics and then 2 days later a medical request. But 3 weeks later no request for police clearance which we find surprising! We are both think of doing our police clearance soon though....would anyone advise to wait? Thanks

Hi Can someone please explain the difference between De facto vs Committed to a shared life together to the exclusion of all others? To me, its exactly the same or is it the same except de-facto means you are living together? Thoughts please:chatterbox:

IF my partner and I have different residential addresses, do you think we would automatically be declined a Partner Visa. Even though we have an extremely valid explanation! And in our eyes and my families eyes lived together for many years. Our daughter of nearly 5 years who will be on the application, surely assists our case:confused:

To simplify my rambling. Question 1- Can I live in Thailand and also have an Australian Residential Address? Question 2- On my 40SP form for Question 38: In which countries have you lived for 12 months (in total) or more during the last 10 years, I would put down every month for 8 years going back to Thailand? Thought Please

THANKS! I am an Australian PR(8 Years)who has an address in WA, does FIFO(Fly-in, Fly-out) which enabled me to work in Australia for 20/25/26 or 28 continuous days and then return back to Thailand for 7/8/9 or 10 days R&R depending on roster. My partner and I have been together 8 or 9 years and also have a 4.5 year old daughter together. I would say from 2010 on-wards any periods of separation were ONLY due to my work commitments in Australia. We bought our first house together back in 2014. We were planning and hoping to apply for her(daughter) De-facto Partner Visa imminently, 47SP filled in online and just waiting for some transaltion paperwork! • We are not in a married relationship with each other • We are not related by family • We have a mutual commitment to a shared life to the exclusion of all others. • Our relationship between us is genuine and continuing. • We live together or do not live separately and apart on a permanent basis except for my work commitments. • We are both aged over 18 years • Our relationship has been continued for the 12 months immediately preceding the date of application. We tick all these boxes BUT have doubts because I am an Australia PR and if I put I live in Thailand Ww won't get De-facto Visa? Could it jeopardize my PR too.....Confused:confused::cry:

Maggie The issue that I've got is that I am an Australian PR who does FIFO(Fly in Fly out) work in Australia, but for 8 years I have always had my 7/8/9 or 10 day R&R’s every month in Thailand and any in-between jobs in Thailand.:unsure:

G'day, I'm due to sponsor my partner to migrate to Australia and just about to fill in my FORM 40SP. I am an Australian PR 8 Years with a British Passport, who's done FIFO(Fly in Fly out) work in Australia for 8 years. I have always had my 7/8/9 or 10 day R&R’s every month in Thailand and any in-between jobs in Thailand. So I class myself as living in 2 countries at the same time! Correct? Regarding Question 38: In which countries have you lived for 12 months (in total) or more during the last 10 years? Can you live in 2 countries at the same time? Am I writing this as a British Person overseas? Am I writing this as an Australian Permanent Resident? Hope my question isn't too confusing. Its confusing for me, ha ha!!! Question 11- Because I've put my residential address in Thailand, I have to attach a statement outlining how i will meet my sponsorship obligations. Even in Part H – (About your home) I believe they are asking about Australia, but I've answered it as if I'm in Thailand All confusing.....It took us days and many hours to fill out our 47SP and now this simply question seems so hard!! Part L is for Additional information. Should I just explain there?:sad: Thanks

PIO I'm getting a bit confused with my 40SP form, due to my situation of living in Thailand and like advised been quoting having a temporary/postal address in Aussie on my written statement and in our 47SP form. On Question 38 - In which countries have you lived for 12 months (in total) or more during the last 10 years? If I was to put down dates in Australia and dates in Thailand which overlapped, Do you think that would cause any problems:sad: I do class myself as living in 2 countries at the same time. Part L is for Additional information. Should I just explain there?? Question 11- Because my residential address is not in Australia, I have to attach a statement outlining how i will meet my sponsorship obligations. Even in Part H – (About your home) I believe they are asking about Australia, but I've answered it as if I'm in Thailand:confused: All confusing.....It took days to fill out our 47SP and now this.......

:embarrassed:Great pick up, Thanks! Yahoo....It should be Okay for us uploading PDF:wink:

I'll have a look thanks. My partner is pretty good with computers and is unaware of been able to change PDF to jpg If found that would be a massive help[emoji3][emoji1310]

The application is for my Defacto Partner & our daughter (4 years old) to apply for their Australian PR Visas while been overseas. So proof of 12 + months living together & proof of our genuine 8+ year relationship.

This I hope answers Question 2 :wink: DUAL CITIZENSHIP: NOT RECOGNIZED. Exceptions: Child born abroad to Thai parents, who obtains the citizenship of the foreign country of birth, may retain dual citizenship until reaching the age of majority (18). At this point, person must choose which citizenship to retain.

Yes we've lots of pages. Regarding originally been in jpeg, they are all original statements, emails, bank statements, proof etc. I put in the printer/scanner at work and it emails them directly to me in PDF format. Online for the visa its 60 folders & max 5meg each. I scanned 100 emails spanning 8 years last night and it came to 3.9meg, which is 1 folder and we thought it would be easy to upload. We know its over the top and too many but its a click of a button, if they sort out their PDF??

Thanks Bungo:wink:

Google is my friend and the answer to question 1 is Number 1....British Citizen Question 2? Nationality = Thailand?
