I have a mate who has been seeing this Thai chick for about 12 months, plenty of proof of relationship stuff, shes been to Australia on 1 tourist visa (3 months). The thing is she has a bun in the oven now (4 weeks) and he is keen to do whatever it takes to get her here on a permanent basis asap. The critical thing is he wants her to have bub here and stay here from that point on. I reckon he could apply for a fiance visa but that would entail taking the risk of not getting approved in time before bub arrives? Anyone out there know of any other options? Would tourist visa do the job then while shes here get married and stay here? Any help would be appreciated Cheers.
