Partner Visa

A partner visa lets the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia. There are onshore and offshore options, and applications often move through a temporary stage before permanent residence.

Partner applications turn on well-organised evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing. We help you assess your eligibility, gather the right evidence, and prepare a clear, persuasive application.

Who it suits

This pathway may suit you if you are married to, or in a genuine de facto relationship with, an eligible Australian sponsor and you meet the relationship and other requirements.

• Married couples and genuine de facto partners
• Applicants applying from inside or outside Australia
• Couples who need help presenting their relationship evidence clearly

Evidence that matters

Partner applications are assessed on the strength of your relationship evidence. This commonly covers the financial, social, household and commitment aspects of your relationship.

We help you understand what evidence to gather for your circumstances and how to present it so the genuineness of your relationship is clear.

How we help

We assess you and your sponsor's eligibility, guide you on evidence, prepare and lodge your application and sponsorship, and represent you in communications with the Department of Home Affairs.
