Hi everyone,
I am currently in the UK on a spouse visa as I married a British man in January.
I did all the right things, returned to Australia to apply for a fiance visa, and then after the wedding, applied to remain in the UK as a spouse. Thankfully I was granted this visa.
Now my question arises.
My visa is placed in my current passport which is endorsed with my maiden name (visa and passport). I am able, free of charge, to change my Australian passport to my married name. However, am I able to do this when my visa is in my passport that is in my maiden name?
Is it therefore a matter of carrying my passport in my maiden name, my passport in my married name and my marriage certificate when I travel?
Reason being, I am hoping to return home to Australia in July next year for 6 weeks with my husband. I am of the understanding that this length of time out of the country will not cause me any problems.
All responses appreciated.
Thanks
Rebecca
