My partner and I plan to marry at the end of the year in Australia. I have dual citizenship Australia and the UK My partner is a UK resident currently. We plan to apply for partner visa next year. We do not have shared bank account, shared mortgage or tenancy. How can we show evidence of shared finances? We have been trying to open a shared bank account as this is number one on the visa approval. However with us being in different countries this is proving most difficult because he does not have any Australian ID yet and when we look at UK bank accounts they all say must have been in UK (on the electoral register) for 12 months. Does anyone know any banks UK or Australia that would allow this? Can anyone give me examples of shared finances that are not shared bank account, mortgage or tenancy that could be used as evidence of shared finances?
