As an Australian citizen, once I marry my British citizen bf, can I lodge my application for a UK SPOUSE VISA from any countries in Europe while I am a visitor/tourist?? Or do I have to return to Australia and lodge my application from there?
I am aware that you can convert the fiance visa to a spouse visa WITHIN UK, but it's rather expensive having to pay for x2 visa fees. I'm on a tight budget and would rather get the marriage visa (only £83) then go somewhere in Europe and lodge my spouse visa application and wait there for the result (while visiting friends).
Please note that I already know about the criterias for marriage visa vs. fiance visa vs. spouse visa. I just want to know if anyone has advice on if you can actually SUBMIT an application for a UK SPOUSE VISA from a country in Europe where you are only a visitor/tourist. Australian citizens can stay in the Schengen area for 90 days without a visa so staying in Europe is not a problem for me.
A big Thank You to the Immigration forum community in advance!! :*
Cheers,
