Partner Migration
The Partner Visa’s are for applicants that are in a relationship with an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or eligible New Zealand Citizen.
You would be in a relationship where you and your spouse or interdependent partner are mutually committed to each other to the exclusion of all others, the relationship is ongoing and you are living together or not separately and apart on a permanent basis.
Please note that the Partner Visa’s are a lot more complex than they appear to be. The evidence and documentation required are very specific and detailed.
