Hello all,

I'm new here, been reading through a few of the old posts but I haven't
yet seen this topic raised [sorry if it's a FAQ - please point me to it
if a FAQ exists...]

I'd like to bring my Thai GF to Australia on the intending marriage
visa, but I've just been reading through the DIMIA website and the fees
are really confusing. I downloaded the file named 990i.pdf but it only
quotes $1305.00 for visa application from outside Australia. As far as
I can see, for payments within Australia it only specifies
"Spouse/Interdependent partner" or "Prospective marriage lodging spouse
application". As far as I can tell from the footnote, that seems to be
for people who already have the intending marriage visa and want to
upgrade to the spouse visa...

Am I reading it wrong?

Can someone who has brought a future wife to Australia please tell me
what the fees are, or perhaps point me to a URL or something that
explains it more clearly?


Thanks in advance for any help and advice...

Have a look here -http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/990i/990i_booklet1.htm
Pros Marriage visa is - A$1305
then when you apply for the residence visa its another $630
