About Partner Visas
Partner visas allow the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia permanently. These visas are available for both married couples and de facto relationships.
The key to a successful partner visa application is demonstrating that your relationship is genuine and continuing. The Department assesses evidence across financial, household, social, and commitment aspects of your relationship.
Our immigration lawyers can help you understand the requirements, gather appropriate evidence, and present your relationship in the most effective way.
