ORIGINAL POSTER
Under the '& more' category.

I'm planning to head to Melbourne Aus in October for about a week to visit friends and family. (I'm a UK citizen so that's easy)

I'd like to take my Thai partner with me. Can anyone whose done it recently advise on the type of short term visa for a thai citizen and what Aus immigration will look for in terms of requirements?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the appropriate short-term visa for a Thai citizen planning to visit Australia with a UK citizen. A responder suggests that a tourism visa is suitable, highlighting the necessary documentation such as employment statements, bank statements, property ownership proof, and family details. The visa application is done online through the Australian embassy in Thailand.

A tourism visa is what she'd be seeking. The application is done online. What will be required is

(1) Statement of employment from her employer, stating years of service and salary

(2) Bank statements from previous 12 months

(3) Any land/property ownership documents

(4) Immediate family details

I do it every year for my lady. The first is probably the hardest, but with a good record of non-overstay it gets easier. In the last few years she's also had visas for UK three times and Schengen twice

Application is started here

Ask in a Australian visa group, they know about Australian vica.

Here the knowledge is about visa for Thailand.

There is a group for Australians in Thailand that might be more helpful - I’m not sure of the exact name

The & More part is imo still about Thailand.
