Hello, I'm sure I've not seen this one asked and I'm sure it's going to be the answer I don't want! 

I'm Australian living in England with my partner (british) and our daughter who we had here. we want to move to Thailand next year. I'm currently just on a partner visa here. I had read that if we get married here i can be a dependent and bypass the need to fly to Australia to apply. is this the case? any help would be grateful!

Answer summary

An Australian currently on a partner visa in the UK is considering moving to Thailand with their British partner and daughter. They are inquiring whether marrying in the UK would allow them to apply as a dependent for a Thai visa without returning to Australia. Community comments suggest that if they are a permanent resident in the UK, an application could be made there, indicating flexibility in the visa process depending on residency status.

Thanks

, I am eligible to apply for ilr in uk now but don’t want to spend £3000 on it then leave straight away. So thought maybe if married it could bypass the need for it.

If you are a “permanent resident” of the UK, you can apply there
