marrying on tourist visa

what are chances of getting visa for partner if i marry her while here on tourist visa as opposed to fiance visa.i have previously had finace visa.would this count against me.she is from philipines will it be harder because of lack of her finances. greg

BIUi mean tho i didnt intend her to over stay visa just get married while here.will it be easier to process and can she stay while dexcide the marriage visa application

why do immigration take dim view of being unemployed.when in philipines a woman is alomst unemployable and chances of savings very remote when average income is less than 3000 aus p/a,and if no job no hassles being here 3 months yet i have had go thru ringer like marriage visa just to get tourist visa and its still iffy coz no job.i guaranteed pay all expenses.travel insurance,return airfares, tough going

6 months isnt long enought to have known each other, immi wants more! so your chances arent great!!!
Did you meet her here or over there? if over in Philipines how many times did you visit her as this would help you alot?
Im asking as if you go for the partner visa immi will require this:
1. immi says over 12mths + relationship, marriage cert( with pics,proof on living together, bills in both names, joint bank accounts etc.)
2. what assets she has as she needs to show that. & what income your on etc (any tax returns in the past etc)
3. medicals need to be done on her ( not cheap either)
4. you need 2 people on both side to say that your having a real geniune relationship.
5.check out the immi website on what else you need as Different rules apply for philipines to come over, they must show they have money,assets & sometimes a job that pays tax back in their country.

& If your finding it hard now on your finances, its going to be alot harder if she does get bridging visa as she's not intitle to any money from the goverment & your responsible for all her needs for over 2 years if it does get approved.

My brother had his partner visa through but they did it offshore back in the philipines, it took 4 months but had known each other for over 12months. He brought a house & place it in her name as she didnt have any assets to show nor paying tax in her country even thought she did work. He flew over 4 times & stayed there a few weeks to show he was committed to their relationship. He paid for everything!! His wife is over here now and on course so she can work afterwards but my brother pays that as there's no help, her english isnt that great so there's free course she can go on.

Good luck and i hope i have helped a lil :-)

Ring immigration up see if there's any condition to her visa first!!
I understand about how hard it is in the Philippines but if your going to fly out make sure next visit you open up a Joint Bank Account(with funds), get married and file the visa over there as it can be alot quicker. Marriage visa offshore are $1705 + medicals cost + police checks & make sure you have everything from Aus with you!!
Also look at the website under partner's visa it tells you how much the Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)will cost($1040)and what you need to do for both parties. (its valid for 9 months) if they approve it,(there' no guarantee)after that you need to pay a further $825

Hope all goes well, be strong and let us know how you go :-)

sorry liz if see this 1 more question.did you get multpile enrty visa or did you have to reapply for new tourist visa.were there any conditions on it.also you must have got married on your first visit.so did you change your name etc for passport or leave as maiden name.and if did how you go bout marriage certs
