Thai Girlfriend Australian Visa

Thai Girlfriend Australian Visa

Your Thai girlfriend will have to apply for the visa at the Australian embassy in Bangkok. The visa cannot be applied for in Australia. It is important for you the Australian sponsor to remember that the visa application is not about you and how much money you have, you having money will not get a visa for your Thai girlfriend

Australia Tourist visa

Australia issue the Tourist visa in four different lengths of time, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months. If this is your Thai girlfriends first visa to Australia it very likely that she would not be issued with any visa other that the three month visa.

Getting your Thai girlfriend the first visa is a stepping stone and as long as she returns to Thailand within the time frame given will gain credibility with the Australian Embassy. The second time you apply for a visa for her, the visa application isnt any easier but it would be more likely that you would be issued with a 6 month or 12 month visa.

No matter what any visa company tells you, if it is your Thai girlfriends first visit to Australia apply for a Tourist visa, not a Fiancee or marriage visa. The embassy will not give out a long term visa to Thai citizen that has never experienced life in Australia.

Thai girlfriends first Australian visa application

With your Thai girlfriends first Australian visa application, the immigration department will be looking for evidence that will suggest to them that your girlfriend will return to Thailand and not remain working illegally. As Thai people generally earn very little money and have no great wealth this is not an easy task to prove. If your Thai girlfriend has children you would think that the immigration department would take the view that she will return for them, but they take the opposite view. Time has demonstrated that Thai families are torn apart for the Thai mother to start a new life in a foreign country.

Your Thai girlfriends first visa application for Australia should be a 3 month tourist visa. Apply for anything else and you will most likely be refused.
