@honey27 pmv visa (subclass 300) as far as I know is offshore lang. cant find any equivalent onshore visa for pmv.
Reference is http://www.migrationangels.com/australia/partner-visa/onshore-partner-visa/
@wizz yup that's the way to go to avoid this too much hassle of waiting. Sana alam ko ito before hand (haiizz) instead of applying for PMV , should have just married in the Philippines ... then apply for tourist visa ,,, and if it is granted without NO FURTHER STAY condition then your alright to apply ONSHORE for partner visa.
Bridging visa will be issued habang nag aantay which will entitle you to work already in Australia.
Just dont know if everyone that applied for tourist visa sponsored by their spouse in Australia got it without No further Stay Condition .....
