TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian is seeking advice for his Thai girlfriend's visitor visa application to Australia, after her initial application was rejected due to her low salary. Comments suggest various strategies to strengthen her application, such as having her partner financially sponsor her, including affidavits from both partners and family members, proving her assets and financial stability, and ensuring clarity about their relationship. Emphasis is also placed on preparing necessary documents and possibly providing evidence of her intention to return to Thailand.

Forget the agents. As others have said do it yourself.State clearly your connection. That you are inviting her to join you for a holiday and that you will be
responsible for her while she is in Australia and guarantee her return to Thailand when her visa is up.Good luck. Perseverance shows commitment.

Not her salary to low, it's not enough savings in her bank for the time in Oz.
You should show your money asap guarantee to sponsor her.

Also something particularly useful is one of his mates here in Australia making an affidavit confirming they are aware of their relationship and that they plan or that he plans to bring her for a visit to Australia for a certain period of time and that (the friend writing the affidavit) knows this to be a bona fide relationship and that she will be coming as a genuine tourist/visitor for the purposes of getting formally introduced to his family and that she has no intention of overstaying. The more affidavits and letters of support the stronger her case.

A supporting letter or affidavit from her Australian partner and also from his family confirming she is coming to visit them always helps, especially if they state that they will be financially responsible for her visit to Australia

Agent messed our last application, put contradictory leaving dates, which was one of the reasons stated on refusal letter. That was 6 years ago, just applied again doing it ourselves and could kick myself for using and paying an agent when the process is easy enough todo yourself on line

What's there in Australia besides the Sydney Opera House? I told my Thai gf that there's nothing in America but homeless people. Save yourself some money buddy.

@Kraig ******
get her partner to sponsor her. Thats simpleMark **********
@Phil *****
yes, lots of photos and all the paperwork we have so fingers crossed now. Thankfully we still had the old refusal letter so were able to address each of the reasons they mentionedPhil ******
@Mark *********
hope this was mentioned in your application with scans of title docs and photosMark **********
@Phil *****
we beeen together 8 years now and have a 4 year old Son, only income is what I provide and that is paid weekly into her account. We have now just finished building a coffee shop and restaurant but not trading yet so no income from that but now have the paper work to say she owns property & land so fingers crossed on our latest application for herPhil ******
@Mark *********
put it in your account and ฿10k "drip-feed"it into her account. It will give home affairs the idea she has regular income from another source. Ask her if she gets any cash income to put it into the bank account too.Kraig *******
ORIGINAL POSTER@Wayne ********
this is from the agent and I said the same, she has cash in the bank and has done for a few years. All sounds a nightmare but I said I'd ask around. I've shared the advice, appreciate the support👍🏻Mark **********
@Phil *****
I put 60k into partners account and it was one of the reasons stated on the refusal letter. If u are gona put money into her account make sure its at least 6 months before applicationPhil ******
@Kev ********
I've done 8 Successful 600 applications and yes I provide all documentation advise the OP no me.Kev *********
@Phil *****
just open an Immi account. If they need more docs they will request usually. I had a deportation case but got the lady back in. It took a year mind you. Any help I can give is free.Phil ******
@Kev ********
sure I only failed in 1 of many applications so that's why I engaged Siam Legal. I cannot see the application documents.Kev *********
The single most important thing is that she has financial stability / security in her homeland and a solid reason for why she will not stay in Aus. Having kids/ dependent family is a poor reason and can go against the applicant. A letter from an employer, tax submissions (if self employed) proof of assets, land, gold etc can help.

@Kraig ******
could be more to it than just her salary has he seen the actual response from Australia saying why it was declined or taking the agents word for it ?Kev *********
@Phil *****
Not as simple as you say Phil. It used to be but not any more.Phil ******
@Kraig ******
ok. A sponsorship for a tourist Visa is different from an invitation. He needs to submit his bank details not hers. However get him to stick ฿50k into her bank before they as may ask when he submits a new one. Way back a long time ago I spent money on Siam legal to do one.Kraig *******
ORIGINAL POSTER@Phil *****
that's what he's trying to do... and her visa through his sponsorship is being rejected hence my ask on hereReply to
