rammygirl Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The hardest thing nowadays is meeting the criteria, if you can do that then it should be straightforward enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardcullen Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 In order to be eligible for a spouse visa to Australia, you must fulfill the following requirements: Unless you are legally married, you must have been in a spouse relationship for the last 12 months, which usually involves showing that you have lived together during this period Generally, you both need to be aged 18 or over. You must pass health and character criteria. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any UK Ancestry which might get him an Ancestry visa - much easier! Failing that, what about access to an EU passport through any other ancestry? The Irish are particularly helpful I believe? We were lucky that the rules for citizenship through UK born mother were relaxed just before we needed to get a visa!

benthomas010 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Has anyone applied for a UK spouse visa (for my Australian husband), without using an agent.. Was it easy? Any advice? Thanks, Jo. I did it for my wife... you don't need an agent at all Use expatforum - loads of great advice on there from experts. It really isn't that difficult a process if you meet all the requirements. If you are both in Australia it is a lot harder to meet the criteria though. I was fortunate I was in the UK and my wife overseas when we applied for hers so I already had a job and house.. The 2 difficult bits to prove if neither of you are here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanna123 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Perfect, thanks Benthomas010! That's good to hear you didn't need/use an agent. It gives me confidence we can do it alone! We do meet criteria, so that's ok:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeboard1980 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Do it yourself. I did 2 years ago and have just applied for PR myself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
