Thought this would be the best place to ask this question as I assume a lot of TD members are Aussies married to Thai ladies.
My wife and I are legally married in Thailand and have a two year old son, born in Thailand.
She has been to Australia twice, 2012 and 2014, both times on 3 month tourist visas.
Last time she visited, with son who was one at the time, this woman from the Australian embassy rang me and asked about the application for tourist visas for wife and son. She said she would grant them this time but no more, if my wife wanted to come to Australia again she would need Australian residency and my son would have to have an Aussie passport, to which he is entitled.
Have any of you guys been through this and what is the deal for obtaining Aussie residency for a Thai ?
I had a look at the Australian government website and could make no sense of it.
