Trusted Australia Immigration & Visa Specialist

The majority of places within the family program are for partner visas. Partner visas are for married spouses, de facto partners, and prospective spouses (fiancés). As a result of the Same-sex Relationships (Equal Treatment in Commonwealth Laws - General Law Reform) Act 2008, same-sex partners can apply for partner visas. Prior to 1 July 2009 same-sex relationships were provided for through the interdependent visas sub-classes 310, 110 and 826, 814.

MARRIAGES MUST BE VALID UNDER AUSTRALIAN LAW!
Assessment of Partner Visas!

The critical issue for all partner (married or de facto) visas is the assessment as to the “genuineness” of the relationship i.e. is it a genuine relationship or is it one that is contrived for migration purposes.

Spouse and De Facto Partner Visas (Subclass 309/100 & 820/801)

  1. Partner Temporary (Class UK); Partner Provisional (Class UF);
  2. Partner Residence (Class BS); Partner Migrant (Class BC)
Prospective Marriage Temporary (Class TO) Visa Subclass (300)
This visa, commonly known as the fiancé visa, is for persons wishing to come to Australia to marry their sponsor, who must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible NZ citizen.

One of the requirements for the prospective marriage visa is that there must be no legal impediment to the marriage under Australian law. This is a requirement at time of decision rather than at time of application. It is possible for someone who is still legally married (but, for example, has applied for divorce, which is likely to become absolute soon) to sponsor, or be sponsored, as a fiancé(e) under this visa, providing both parties will have become free to marry at time of decision.

The prospective marriage visa will be valid for 9 months upon grant. Prior to grant, the overseas post will usually require the applicant to produce a letter from a marriage celebrant detailing the arrangements, including dates, for the intended marriage and confirmation that Notice of Intended Marriage has been lodged with the relevant government department. The applicant must then enter Australia, marry their sponsor and apply for the spouse (820/801) visa all within this nine-month period.

Partner (309/100 & 820/801) Visas

The Partner visa is a two stage process (temporary and permanent), and an applicant applies for both visas using one application form and paying only one application fee. The applicant must be sponsored by his/her respective spouse or de facto partner, who must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible NZ citizen. If either party to the marriage is domiciled in Australia, both parties must have turned 18 at time of the marriage for it to be valid under Australian law, unless they marry under a court order. If the sponsor is under 18, then the sponsor’s parent or guardian may act as sponsor on behalf of the Australian spouse, providing the parent or guardian is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible NZ citizen.
