If you are in a committed relationship with someone who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible for a partner visa. The partner visa allows you to live and work in Australia with your partner, and eventually apply for permanent residency.
However, the process of obtaining a partner visa can be complicated and overwhelming. To help you navigate the process, it is important to seek professional assistance from an experienced migration lawyer. At NB Migration Law firm, we have a team of migration experts who can help guide you through the partner visa application process.
Meeting the Requirements for a Partner Visa
To be eligible for a partner visa, you must meet certain requirements set by the Australian government. The primary requirements include:
- Relationship Status: You must be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with your partner. This means that you must have a committed relationship and intend to live together in Australia.
- Age: You must be at least 18 years old when you apply for the visa.
- Sponsorship: Your partner must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident and must sponsor you for the visa.
- Health and Character: You and your partner must meet certain health and character requirements set by the Australian government.
- Financial Support: Your partner must provide financial support for you while you are in Australia.
The Partner Visa Application Process
The partner visa application process involves two stages:
- Provisional Partner Visa: This is the first stage of the partner visa application process. It allows you to live and work in Australia for up to two years while your permanent partner visa is processed.
- Permanent Partner Visa: This is the second stage of the partner visa application process. It allows you to live and work in Australia permanently with your partner.
To apply for a partner visa, you must submit a detailed application, including evidence of your relationship, health and character checks, and financial support. The application process can take several months or longer, depending on individual circumstances and processing times.
