If you are in a relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident and wish to live with them in Australia, you may be eligible to apply for a Partner Visa. This visa allows you to live, work, and study in Australia with your partner. The process of applying for a Partner Visa can be complex, but with the right information and guidance, you can navigate through it successfully.
The first step in applying for a Partner Visa is to determine which type of visa you are eligible for. There are two main types of Partner Visas available: the Partner (Provisional) Visa (subclass 309/820) and the Partner (Migrant) Visa (subclass 100/801). The Provisional Visa is the first stage of the Partner Visa application, while the Migrant Visa is the second stage. You can apply for both visas at the same time if you meet certain criteria.
To apply for a Partner Visa, you must be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with your partner. This means that you must provide evidence of your relationship, such as joint bank accounts, shared bills, and photos together. You must also meet certain health and character requirements to be eligible for a Partner Visa.
The application process for a Partner Visa involves several steps. First, you must gather all the necessary documents to support your application, such as your passport, birth certificate, and evidence of your relationship with your partner. You must also complete the appropriate visa application form and pay the required visa application fee.
Once you have submitted your visa application, you will need to undergo a health examination and provide police clearance certificates from each country you have lived in for the past 12 months. You may also be required to attend an interview with a visa officer to discuss your application in more detail.
It is important to note that processing times for Partner Visas can vary depending on various factors, such as the number of applications received and the complexity of your case. In some cases, the processing time for a Partner Visa can take several months to years.
Overall, applying for a Partner Visa in Australia can be a lengthy and complex process. However, with the right information and support, you can navigate through it successfully. If you are considering applying for a Partner Visa, it is recommended that you seek advice from a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer to assist you with your application. Good luck with your Partner Visa application!
