Let’s explain the Australian spouse visa for Thai wife. If you got married in Thailand and have now registered your marriage then you can obtain your marriage certificate and apply for an Australian spouse visa in Bangkok. Note that it is best to apply for the correct Australian visa and not to apply for say an Australian Tourist Visa as Australian Immigration would not take too kindly to this and may view it as fraud.
Note that there are 2 types of Australian marriage visas and you need to view both options before you decide what you would prefer to do.
This is the most common spouse visa as it allows you entry into Australia on a temporary basis allowing your Thai wife to live in Australia for 2 years before she can apply for a permanent spouse visa. She needs to collect all the visa documents for this as well as meet all the requirements for this
– She has her Police Clearance Certificate in Bangkok
– Also she must have her health check and has a Health Certificate
– She must be married to an Australian citizen
– You need to be able to show you have an abode in Australia
– Also you need to show you meet the financial requirements (salary)
– You must show a genuine relationship (photos and emails)
The permanent Australian spouse visa allows your Thai wife all the benefits of the temporary spouse visa however she can apply for Australian citizenship once she arrives in Australia. In order to apply for this Australian visa she needs to meet the following requirements:
– She has a Thai Police Clearance Certificate from Bangkok
– Also she must have a Health Certificate
– She must be married to an Australian citizen
– You need to be able to show you an abode in Australia
– Show that you meet all financial requirements (salary)
– You must show a real relationship (photos and emails)
– Also you have been married for at least 3 years
– Married < 2 years but > 3 years but have a dependent child
