I would like to know if my fiance can apply for a tourist visa and we marry in melbourne so he can stay with me without leaving the country (changing the visa type) and with the same rights to work (i am an international PhD student allowed to work 20 hours per week) OR shall we apply for the prospective marriage visa?. No migration agent wants to answer this whit out money involved. Thanks

Basically I’m looking for first hand answers from people in australia that have brought in an american fiance on a prospective marriage visa (thus 9 months) and the costs you’ve found, whether you used a migration lawer and if you didnt what was your experience with australian immigration? i’ve read and understood alot of the documentation but i get conflicting messages from people that the costs of form submission and medicals/police checks are not all that can be incurred…what else is there? Thanks for any responses…

If your bread and butter in Australia is keeping you from moving to Thailand to live with your Thai fiance, you can always take the other way around it to fix this relationship impediment. Why don’t bring your fiance to Australia and live with you there instead? But, of course the challenge is how to make this grand plan come true.

If you are eying for your Thai fiance to come to Australia to live with you there permanently after your marriage, a prospective marriage visa aka Subclass 300 is the appropriate visa to obtain. This visa provides your Thai fiance a 9-month stay in Australia coupled with privileges. However, within this allowed stay, you have to marry her so that you maybe able to adjust her immigration status accordingly.
