Hi Guys, Thank you for your posts and invaluable advices . We have decided to go with PMV now. Do you guys know if it matters if the sponsor pays the visa application fee?

Hi Lebourvellec, Thank you very much for your quick reply to my post. When you said lots of evidence, I presume you meant the standard requirements that are required for 820 visa? The thing I don't understand is why apply for two different visas?If we apply for PMV, and when granted we would get married straight after that anyway and then apply for 820 visa. So the evidence of living together, financial aspect, household chores and so will be the same if we choose to get married and apply for 820 from eVisitor visa. Is my way of thinking skewed or it seems like the gov wants to make more money from applying for different visas?

Hello everyone, I hope someone could help with our situation and maybe shed some light. My girlfriend and I met last year online. I'm in Australia and she is back in Poland.(Funnily enough we were both born in the same country and state. Our family homes are only 10km away from each other as it turned out. Talking about serendipity, hey?) From the first skype chat, we both knew we were meant for each other. I hold an Australian passport and my partner holds a Polish passport with an eVisitor for business purposes visa valid for another 6 months. Last year she came and stayed with me for 2 weeks. After that I went back home to stay with her for 5 weeks and met her family and friends. My question is, instead of wasting time and mony applying for a Fiancé visa; can we apply for partner visa subclass 820 if she comes back to Australia and stays with me for 3 months (eVisitor maximum stay in AU) during which we would get married and apply for visa 820 as a married couple? We really appreciate any help or tips you can provide us with.
