Can we apply for a visitor visa and then an onshore partner visa inside Australia for an Australian Filipina couple

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE ANSWER!

In this week's episode of our Weekly Q&A one participant asked Can we apply for visitor visa then onshore partner visa?

The exact question was:

Can you apply for a visitor visa (tourist visa) in the Philippines with the intention of going to Australia and applying for an onshore partner visa? Is this legitimate grounds for a visitor visa?

Once upon a time it was impossible to do this, because practically all tourist visas from Philippines to Australia had "No Further Stay" Conditions on them, which prevented further applications inside Australia. This is very unusual these days, and most are able to apply for further visas inside Australia, including partner visas. Is it OK to apply for a visitor visa and them apply for a partner visa once you arrive? Please watch the video and benefit from the experience of Migration Agents who specialise in partner visas for Australian Filipina couples.

Who are Down Under Visa? Who is Jeff Harvie?

Jeff Harvie and the Down Under Visa team have been doing this for a lot of years! Down Under Visa have brought thousands of couples to Australia from South East Asia over the years. Mostly from the Philippines, but we help increasing numbers of couples where the visa applicant is from China, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia. And what this means is we see a lot of success....and we also see failures when people go it alone after talking to their mate, or their relative, or that minimal-care-no-responsibility Facebook group run by Steve and Maribeth based on their own visa application! One application, and they feel qualified to advise others! It's not even LEGAL to do that!

I am a bit confused. Applying for a onshore partner visa while on a tourist visa does that means it is a bad thing and you have more chance of being rejected because of that if you apply for the same thing after she returns home to then apply off-shore?

Didn't quite get the last part of your question, Robert. First part: Probably 1/2 of our partner visa clients are applying this way. Not a bad thing. And as long as you're completely prepared, then no more chance of refusal.

1. You can't prepare and lodge a partner visa in such a short time. You will mess it up if you try. 2. There is no "standard list" of requirements that I can give you. It changes depending on the circumstances of the client's situation. I would suggest you either return to the Philippines, or look at a new tourist visa at this stage. You don't have enough time to prepare and lodge a good partner visa application.
