Guest Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Can they not apply once in Aus and go the onshore visa route? It gives works rights to the applicant while the application is being processed. So long as they are a couple and can prove this to the requirements listed for the partner visa I don't see why this could not be considered as to if its a viable option.

ekf Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 As pp suggested you can apply for a partner visa once onshore, it just requires the applicant to leave Australia and re enter to validate the visa once it's granted, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 A short stay tourist visa is what people get usually There are lots of threads where this is discussed. You can read up on the on shore application on the immi site and download the partner visa migration booklet on it all about applying on shore. Costs a bit more, taking about 13 months currently but work rights are given on bridging visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The bridging visa won't kick in until the tourist visa expires though, so normally three months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliep Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 which bridging visa would he apply for whilst in oz waiting for partner visa please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 If he applies onshore, assuming there was no 'no stay' clause on his tourist visa, which is rare, then he would get bridging visa a automatically issued, starting when the tourist visa expired. You don't have to apply for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 You just have to be a bit careful that they don't think he is going to be anything other than a tourist though cos they can and will send him back if they suspect he is not a bone fide tourist. He can apply off shore then go on a tourist visa and leave before his spouse visa is issued - quick trip off to NZ and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
