Migration

Partner Migration

The partner visa migrants must be sponsored or nominated by a husband/wife, partner or fiancé living in Australia. The sponsor must be either an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, and would usually be 18 years of age or older. Migrants are selected on the basis of their relationship with their sponsor or nominator in Australia; there is no test for skills or language ability as for Skilled Stream migrants. Like all migrants, applicants are assessed on an individual basis and they are be assessed against Australia's health and character requirements.

Partners will be required to show evidence that you are in a relationship where you and your spouse or interdependent partner are mutually committed to each other to the exclusion of all others, that the relationship is ongoing and that you are living together or not separate or apart on a permanent basis.

Evidence required for these visas is very specific and detailed. In many cases you will be required to have an interview, and we will co ordinate this for you.
