Can I apply from inside Australia?

Post by markhoward » Thu Sep 11, 2008 6:50 pm

I am British and I am married, to my wife, an Australian. We are currently in the UK, she on a Spousal visa. We intend to go back to Australia soon and I want to just check that I have my facts straight in thinking that I can enter Australia on a visitors visa and apply for my Spousal visa once I'm there?

Many thanks to all on this wonderful board.

to answer my own question, www.britishexpats.com appears to have the most relevant info I have found...

Much smarter to get your spouse visa in London before leaving.
