HELP!! Form 40SP

[sipidan]

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

Hello,

 

Australian permanent resident means:

(a) in relation to an applicant for a Return (Residence) (Class BB) visa or a Resident Return (Temporary) (Class TP) visa — a non-citizen who is the holder of a permanent visa; or

(b) in any other case (other than in the case of an applicant for registration as a migration agent under Part 3 of the Act) — a non-citizen who, being usually resident in Australia, is the holder of a permanent visa.

If your residential address is not in Australia, your partner may not be eligible for a partner visa.

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:

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
