Aussiebird Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi all, Ive been reading on line the new changes regarding spouse visa and have a question: Is it only referring to if it is applied whilst in Australia and not applying offshore? I understand the sponsor has a different part to play before submitting the application for a spouse visa, but it seems only if applying onshore? I think we may apply for a RRV first but may have to apply for another spouse visa for my husband if he doesnt get an RRV. We are still in the UK and planning our permanent return back to Australia. Any advice greatly appreciated. Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They concern, amongst other things, requiring sponsors to be approved before a partner visa application is lodged, which may be an issue for those who apply onshore from short temporary visas. We don’t yet know when they will be implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Department of Home Affairs (like now, but with the approval being a requirement to lodge the application, rather than being done after lodging).
