What type of visa should I apply for to bring my Thai girlfriend to Australia for a holiday?

Phil ******

@Matthew *******

the requirements are there for a 600 tourist visa. Make sure she has a strong reason to return to Thailand (job land taking care of mother father family etc) money in her bank account min ฿100k) and you sponsor her visit.

There's lots of resources on google so use them.

Letter of intro from you is a must.

Good luck
