Australian Partner Visa Requirements
The Department of Home Affairs has specific standards that you must complete before you can secure an Australian Partner Visa.
- This visa is for those who are engaged to, married to, or in a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or an Eligible New Zealand Citizen.
- An Australian Partner Visa application also includes same-sex couples, which means you get equal opportunity regardless of who you love.
The crucial part of your application involves proving that you are in a genuine relationship that is real and ongoing, with documents that show:
- You live together
- Share your finances
- Are recognised socially as a couple
- Are committed to your long-term partnership
The Department will carefully review your evidence and may interview both you and your partner to verify the authenticity of your relationship. Beyond relationship evidence, there are other eligibility criteria for your application to succeed, including:
- A valid passport
- Meeting the health and character requirements
- Furthermore, the partner who sponsors your application must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or an Eligible New Zealand Citizen.
- They must also meet the character, and residency requirements.
Getting an Australian partner visa is challenging and takes a long time, with no guarantee you will get one at the end. That’s why a lot of people choose to speak with a partner visa lawyer or a registered migration agent. They know how to put together a solid application with all the evidence you need for a far better chance of getting your visa.
There are two steps to the migration pathway that let you and your partner build your future in Australia.
- You first receive a temporary visa that lets you live and work in Australia for a period of time.
- You can apply for a permanent visa after this time, as long as your relationship is still going well and you are still eligible.
