Spouse Visa Assessment
If you are the partner of an Australian citizen or permanent resident then you may be able to apply to migrate to Australia on the basis of your relationship. For spouse visa assessment you can contact us to make arrangements to assess yourself.
Popular Types of Spouse or Partner Visas are as follows
Spouse : A spouse visa is for those who have been legally married before making an application
If you are legally married to an Australian sponsor then you are eligible to apply for the ‘Spouse’ visa, with the ‘applicant being the person who needs the visa and the Australian husband or wife being the ‘spouse’.
The person acting as the sponsor may be an Australian Citizen/Permanent resident or may also be an eligible permanent resident. These applications may take anything from 2-8 months depending on the circumstances. Applications are to be processed at the DIAC visa office.
Evidence that can be presented to show that the couples are in genuine spousal relationships are things like making sure family, friends and neighbours are aware of the relationship and proof of living together and communication when apart.
After being accepted for this visa another application may be lodged for a full PR Australian spouse visa (Australian visa for my husband/wife) after a 2 year provisional permanent resident visa.
