Spouse/Family Visas
The Spouse and Parent Visa program allows Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their spouse or parent to live with them in Australia. The program aims to reunite families and enable them to live together in Australia.
The Spouse Visa category includes the Partner Visa and the Prospective Marriage Visa. The Partner Visa is for married or de facto partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. The Prospective Marriage Visa is for people who are engaged to an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Visa Highlights
To be eligible for a Spouse Visa, the applicant and the sponsor must meet certain requirements, including being in a genuine and ongoing relationship, meeting health and character requirements, and providing evidence to support their application.
- Relationship Evidence: We assist in gathering and organizing substantial evidence of your genuine and ongoing relationship with your partner, including proof of cohabitation, joint financial commitments, shared responsibilities, social recognition, and other relevant documentation.
- Sponsorship Eligibility: We assess your eligibility as a sponsor, ensuring that you meet the requirements set by the Australian Department of Home Affairs, including being an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen and meeting character and financial criteria.
- Health and Character Requirements: We guide you through the health and character assessment process, helping you obtain the necessary clearances and completing the required examinations to meet the health and character requirements set by the Australian Department of Home Affairs.
- Financial Capacity: We assist in demonstrating that you and your partner have the financial capacity to support yourselves and any dependents during your stay in Australia, providing evidence of income, employment, assets, or other financial resources.
