Hello everybody 👋

My Thai wife and I plan to visit and stay with my mother in Australia for a week.

Has anyone done this before?

I understand my wife needs a letter from my mother to say she can stay with her to get a visa.

Is a mother in law considered family to do this?

I don’t know whether my mother has to prove other things like her finances if my wife stays at my mother’s house.

I know my wife has to go to Bangkok to the Australian Emabassy and make an appointment.

It’s a bit complicated trying to follow the process on the Australian government website.

Any help would be appreciated.

Myself I have a New Zealand passport so I don’t need a visa.

Thanks in advance 🙏

ATTENTION AUZZIE MEMBERS

The thai consulate in Sydney has a new pop up when you go to their website saying they will go live on the eVisa website for online applications on March 19th

AND

they say they will only accept applications from people who live in NSW after that date

They say you can apply until Mar 9th the 'old way' (the way they do it now)

Please make a note of it
