Eligibility for a Partner Visa- Onshore & Offshore
For De Facto applicants
You are eligible for any type of visa if you and your partner must be in a De Facto relationship for 12 months immediately before applying for the visa. Besides, before making a visa application, you must be living together for at least 12 months.
However, in certain situations, the 12 months might be relinquished. The situation is:
- If you can prove compassionate and compelling circumstances, such as-if and your partner has children.
- If you’ve already registered your De Facto relationship with the Australian state or Territory.
For Married Applicants
If your marriage is registered under an Australian law or if you are married in another country and is valid then you are eligible to apply for a partner visa in Australia. However, there are some exceptions.
- Polygamous and underage marriages are not valid as per Australian laws.
Expansion of Partner Visa Eligibility in Australia
Partner visa is also applicable to people whose visa has been refused or cancelled since they last visited Australia. This cancellation or refusal is covered under section 48 of the Migration Act 1958 (Act). As a result, you cannot apply for a visa except for certain prescribed visa classes such as a protection visa or a bridging visa.
However, from September 14, 2009, some newly introduced requirements can allow you to apply for an Australian partner visa.
- There must not be a partner visa cancelled or refused since you last visited Australia.
- You should not have a partner visa rejected or cancelled based on a character under section 501 of the migration act 1958 (act).
