The Partner Visa Application Process in Australia: A Guide for Applicants

The Partner Visa Application Process in Australia: A Guide for Applicants

The Partner Visa Application Process in Australia: A Guide for Applicants

Are you and your partner planning to move to Australia together? If so, you might be considering applying for a partner visa.

This type of visa allows you to live, work and study in Australia with your spouse or de facto partner. However, the process of obtaining a partner visa in Australia can be complex and time-consuming. To help you navigate the process, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide. 

Eligibility Criteria 

Before you start your partner visa application, it’s important to make sure that you and your partner meet the eligibility criteria. To be eligible, you must: 

  • Be legally married to your partner or in a de facto relationship for at least 12 months 
  • Be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with your partner 
  • Be sponsored by an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen 

Documentation 

The next step is to gather all the necessary documentation. You will need to provide evidence of your relationship, including: 

  • Passport or other form of identification. 
  • Proof of the length of your relationship.
  • Joint bank statements, bills and other financial information.
  • Joint photographs.
  • Testimonials from friends and family. 
  • Proof of cohabitation.

Application Form 

Once you have all your documents ready, you can start filling out the application form. This form can be found on the Department of Home Affairs website. Be sure to answer all the questions accurately and provide all the relevant information. If you make a mistake, it could delay the processing of your application. 

Migration Agent 

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the application process, you can use the services of a registered migration agent like us 😊 (You can learn more about our partner visa services here). These professionals have the expertise and experience to guide you through the process and help you avoid common mistakes. However, using a migration agent is not mandatory, and you can apply for a partner visa on your own if you prefer. 

Follow-Up 

Once you’ve submitted your application, be prepared to be patient. Processing times for partner visas can vary, and it can take several months to receive a decision. However, you can check the status of your application by logging into your ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website. 

Conclusion 

Applying for a partner visa in Australia can be a complex and time-consuming process, but with the right preparation and guidance, you can make it a success. Make sure to gather all the necessary documentation, fill out the application form accurately, use a migration agent if needed, and be proactive in following up on your application’s progress.

Good luck!

Bill Questra is nothing short of exceptional. His assistance was instrumental in helping my wife and me navigate the complexities of the visa process, ultimately leading to our successful visa grant. What sets Bill apart is not just his expertise, but his approachability and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients. He patiently guided us through each step, answering our questions, addressing our concerns, and ensuring that we felt confident and supported throughout the process. His professionalism, coupled with his warmth and empathy, made all the difference during what could have been a stressful ordeal. Thanks to Bill's tireless efforts and unwavering commitment, my wife and I can now embark on this new chapter of our lives with peace of mind and excitement for the future. He is truly an amazing person and a consummate professional.

We engaged with Questra through my classmate. After initially consultation with lawyer- Bill, we decided to see how it goes. Basically, you would be assisted by Questra team with your application. Lots of people might think you engage with law firm and paid them nothing is needed to be worried. I have to slightly correct those idea from people who wish engaging with Questra. First of all, it’s your responsibility to provide legitimate information to them. The team of Questra is playing a role like a coach to assist with your application to become more smoothly and persuasively way but remain all legitimate information for your application. Hence, you have to write all information that you wish to include into your application by yourself first. During our preparation phase before offical lodgement of our application, we have been assisted by all Questra team and ensured all supportive information have been provided and if we missed anything, the team will let us know ASAP. We got our 820 very soon after lodging our application within 6 months during Covid, which we were very grateful for the result and after two years of waiting, we continued with Questra to lodge our 801 as they have all information of ours. We received our 801 within 11 months of waiting time. However, this timeframe is just for your reference as each case have different requirements and conditions that might be required more time to process. In the conclusion, we are very grateful to engage with Questra, they made the whole process was so smooth and less hassle for us. We highly recommended to engage with them if your need some assistance with your visa application.

Everyone at Questra have been absolutely amazing and delightful to work with. They have assisted me for some years, first with my Chef career pursuing my permanent residency and then with my partner visa. They are extremely competent and have given me all the support needed in these years. All the visas that I applied with their guidance was quickly approved. They do know what they are doing, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
