Australian marrying a Swede, advice please!

[tgak]

Hello everyone. So my girlfriend and I will be wed in about two weeks, the marriage is taking place in London!

We both live here together and my visa (youth mobility) will expire in mid-May.

We would like to both continue living together in the London. Here is my list of questions:

Which visa should I be applying for as she is an EU resident?
And will I have to leave the UK for this application?
She has only been living here for four or five months, does she need to let the UK know that she is living here permanently to make my immigration process smoother?
And as she is EU, she doesn't have to be earning a certain amount to support me does she, unlike if she was a UK passport holder?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If she is a qualified person, then you may apply for confirmation of residence after marriage.

You do not apply for visa from within the country, you apply for residence permit, in your case it's called a residence card.

And will I have to leave the UK for this application?

No

She has only been living here for four or five months, does she need to let the UK know that she is living here permanently to make my immigration process smoother?

It is also not necessary

And as she is EU, she doesn't have to be earning a certain amount to support me does she, unlike if she was a UK passport holder?

You are correct, no stipulated amount.

Thanks in advance for your help!

After your wedding anytime you can apply for your confirmation of residence right called EEA2 Residence Permit. For EEA2 your EEA partner need to excercise its treaty rights study,working,self sufficient, self employed etc. None of you need to leave. Thats correct that under EEA LAW there is no earning/saving threshold.
