TLDR : Answer Summary

In response to a query from an Australian couple about the STV (Special Tourist Visa), it was clarified that both the husband and wife must apply for their own STV visa separately, as the STV functions more like a tourist visa and does not allow for tagging onto another's application.

You can only piggyback off a long term visa. The STV is just a glorified tourist visa so each would need their own.
