<h2 id="toc-our-visa-application-success-rate-is-100">Our Visa Application Success Rate is 100%!</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________1">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>We understand that the decision to take your partner or spouse back to Australia is a big one, and you want to be sure that you obtain the correct visa. However, the visa process can be tricky to navigate on your own and many potential visitors to Australia grossly underestimate the possibility that their application may be refused.</p>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________2">_________________________________________</h2>
<h2 id="toc-50-of-diy-applications-fail">50% of DIY Applications Fail!</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________3">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>Industry feedback has indicated that an estimated <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">30%</span></strong> of all applicants who lodge their application online and directly with immigration authorities get it <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WRONG </span></strong>and <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FAIL</span></strong> because they did not use a registered migration agent to compile and double check their application and immigration eligibility first.</p>
<p>It is estimated that a further <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">20%</span></strong> of applicants who do not use an agent become confused and frustrated with application process and find it difficult or impossible to get answers to their specific concerns or questions from immigration authorities. As a result, they unnecessarily <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">drop out of application process</span></strong>.</p>
<p>Overall, this equates to an estimated up to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">50% FAILURE RATE for &#8220;do-it-yourself&#8221; applicants</span></strong> applying directly to immigration authorities.</p>
<p>This compares with a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SUCCESS RATE OF 100%</span></strong> for applicants that apply through our Migration Consultancy.</p>

<h1 id="toc-applying-for-an-extension">Applying for an extension</h1>
<p>The answer to this very much depends on whether your Thai girlfriend has the <a href="http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/the-no-further-stay-condition/">no further stay condition</a><strong><a href="http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/the-no-further-stay-condition/"> </a>(Condition 8503)</strong> attached to her current tourist visa.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If she has</span>, then she unfortunately must leave Australia to apply for any other visa.</li>
</ul>
<p>In very exceptional circumstances the no further stay condition can be waived, but generally speaking she must depart Australia to apply for any other visa. The only other visa that can be applied for is a protection visa if the no further stay condition is attached.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If she doesn’t</span> have the no further stay condition attached then she has a few options available.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="toc-the-e676-tourist-visa">The e676 tourist visa</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>If she only wants to stay less than 3 months more in Australia, she may consider applying online for an <strong>e676 tourist visa</strong>.</p>
<p>She still needs to satisfy the genuine visitor criteria, but this can simply be applied for online through the DIAC website.</p>
<p>Whilst this visa is being processed, your girlfriend will be granted a bridging visa that will allow her to remain lawfully in Australia. It should be noted however that if she will be remaining in Australia for more than 3 months she will be required to undergo a chest x-ray as Thailand is a high risk country, especially for TB.</p>
<p>The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) will notify you of this any other documentation that may be required after you apply online.</p>
<h2 id="toc-subclass-676-tourist-visa">Subclass 676 tourist visa</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_____________________________________________">_____________________________________________</h2>
<p>If your girlfriend wishes to apply for more than 3 months, and she does not have the no further stay condition, then she must apply for a <strong>subclass 676 tourist visa</strong> by way of submitting a paper application at the nearest DIAC office. Again, she will need to undergo a chest x-ray and further satisfy the genuine visitor criteria.</p>
<p>As with the e676 application outlined above, she will be granted a bridging visa that will allow her to remain lawfully in Australia during the processing of her onshore tourist visa application.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.australianvisa.co/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/health-requirements.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="health requirements" src="http://www.australianvisa.co/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/health-requirements-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a></strong></p>
<p>Australia has very strict health requirements that must be satisfied   when it comes to grant of particular subclass of visa. If the health   requirements are not satisfied, then the visa will be refused.</p>
<h1 id="toc-what-is-the-health-criteria">What is the health criteria?</h1>
<p>All applicants for an Australian <a href="http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/australian-partner-visas/">partner visa</a> or<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/what-is-a-fiance-visa/">fiancé visa</a> must satisfy Australia’s  stringent health criteria in order to be granted a visa.</p>
<p>Likewise, <strong>all   primary and secondary applicants</strong> must pass the health requirement for   the grant of a particular visa.</p>
<p>If an application, eg: for a partner   visa, includes primary and secondary applicant, then the general rule is,   that if one person fails the health criteria, they all fail.</p>
<p>This has   been referred to as the ‘<strong>one fails, all fail’ rule</strong>.</p>
<p>There are however   circumstances where someone who fails the health criteria can   nonetheless be granted a health waiver and as such a visa.</p>
<p>The  health requirements that must be satisfied are generally  determined by  the visa being applied for, the length of time that the  applicant is  intending to remain in Australia, and lastly whether any  special  significance requirements exist. It is also important in  assessing the  health requirement to look at <span style="text-decoration: underline;">which country the applicant  is from</span> and  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">where they have previously resided</span>. If there are special  significance  requirements then the health requirements may be above the  minimum  required.</p>
<h2 id="toc-health-tests">Health tests</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>Health test that may be required include medical and radiological examinations.</p>
<p>The costs for such test must be paid for by the applicant and are not included in the relevant visa application charge.</p>
<p>The costs for the health tests should be factored into any visa  application, and can be considerable when the application includes  several secondary applicants, and even immediate members of the primary  applicants family who are not intending to migrate.</p>
<h2 id="toc-family-members-must-test-too">Family members must test too</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________1">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>Even if immediate members of the primary applicant are not intending  to migrate to Australia, they too must satisfy the health criteria. This  is often referred to as the ‘one fails, all fail system’. For example  if a partner visa or fiancé visa applicant lodges a visa application he  or she must satisfy the health criterion that is in force at the time of  application. That applicant may have a dependant family member, a child  for example, who is not included in the application to migrate.  Nonetheless the non-migrating child must pass the health criteria too.</p>
<p>If the child fails the health criteria and the Department of Immigration  and Citizenship (DIAC) is unable to waive health requirement for that  child, then the primary application will be refused. There are however  certain exceptions where it is deemed unreasonable for a non-migrating  family member to undergo a health assessment.</p>
<h2 id="toc-expiring-tests">Expiring tests</h2>
<p>When undergoing any health tests for an Australian visa they are  usually valid for 12 months from the date the test was undertaken.</p>
<p>Applicants should be aware that if the processing of their visa  application takes more than 12 months, and the health tests were  undertaken more than 12 months ago, they will have to re-do their test  at their own expense.</p>
<p>Unless required to do so to submit your visa application, it is  recommended that you wait until you are advised to undergo a health  test.</p>
<h2 id="toc-health-requirements-australian-partner-visa"><strong>Health requirements: Australian partner visa </strong></h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________2">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>For partner visas, applicants must undergo both a medical and  radiological examination using the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">approved forms</span>.</p>
<p>If the examinations  are undertaken outside Australia, then they must be performed by an  approved medical specialist.</p>
<p>You should wait until you have lodged your  application before having any examinations. Your case officer will  advise you what examinations need to be undertaken.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.australianvisa.co/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aussie-visas-for-thai.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="aussie visas for thai" src="http://www.australianvisa.co/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aussie-visas-for-thai.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="184" /></a>What does the no further stay condition attached to my Thai partner’s visitor visa exactly mean?</p>
<h1 id="toc-the-no-further-stay-condition">The no further stay condition</h1>
<p>The most general <strong>no further stay condition</strong> is <strong>Condition 8503</strong>.</p>
<p>For several Australian visas the no further stay condition is mandatory, and it must be attached as a condition of  that visa granted.</p>
<p>For other visas the decision maker has discretion  whether or not to attach the condition.</p>
<h2 id="toc-sponsored-family-visitor-visa">Sponsored family visitor  visa</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>If your Thai partner is the holder of a <strong>sponsored family visitor  visa</strong> then this condition will certainly be attached to that visa as  there is no absolutely no discretion available to the decision maker to  not impose it.</p>
<h2 id="toc-tourist-visa">Tourist visa</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________1">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>If your Thai partner has been issued a <strong>tourist visa</strong> then it is quite  possible that she may not have the condition attached to her tourist  visa.</p>
<p>Where a decision-maker has the discretion to attach the no further  stay condition, it is generally done so where the decision maker has  some residual concerns that the applicant may not be intending to visit  Australia as a genuine visitor only, yet there is not compelling  evidence to suggest that she does not have a genuine intention.</p>
<p>When you girlfriend was issued her tourist visa she would have  received a letter that stated the conditions which were attached to her  tourist visa. Some of the conditions may also include that she must not  work whilst in Australia or engage in any study for more than three  months.</p>
<h2 id="toc-visa-labels">Visa labels</h2>
<h2 id="toc-_________________________________________2">_________________________________________</h2>
<p>Australia has started to not place visa labels in passports, and as  such all of the visa information pertaining to your girlfriend’s visas  is now stored electronically on the Department of Immigration and  Citizenships (DIAC) mainframe. It is however recommended to always carry  the letter with you when travelling.</p>
<p>The significance of the no further stay condition, when attached to a  visa, is that your girlfriend is prevented from applying for any other  visa whilst she remains in Australia. She therefore must depart  Australia if she intends to then apply for a further Australian visa.  This includes tourist <a href="http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/applying-for-an-extension/">visa extensions</a> too.</p>
<p>In exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the visa holder the no further stay condition may be waived.</p>
