Re: Apply UK or OZ
Sorry to be picky but as Polly said, we get posts like these often, and we research and offer advice only to find they are "just dating" and therefore spouse visa doesn't apply. Good luck with your move!

This comes up a lot in our experience too.
People seem to have a very wide range of definitions of what constitutes a 'relationship'. Australian Immigration on the other hand does not! ;-)

If we apply while in oz for partner visa can you also apply for a bridging visa and if so how much are they.
Thank you for help.

If you arrive on a visa (such as a tourist visa) which allows you to make an application onshore for a further visa (such as the Spouse Visa) then a Bridging Visa A will come into effect as soon as the original visa expires.

You don't apply for a Bridging Visa, and they are free.

It comes into force as soon as the original visa expires.
So if the Spouse Visa is applied for in June, and the tourist visa expires in September, the Bridging Visa sits in the background until September and then comes into force.
