Bringing your Partner / Fiance to Australia

In order to be eligible for Partner Migration, you must meet a number of qualifying criteria.

Most classes of Partner visas may require you and your partner to attend an interview before granting a visa into Australia. The interview is to assess the validity of your relationship & can be quite intimidating.

At Interglobal Migration Services we help you and your  partner to understand what to expect at this interview.

• You will need to show proof that the relationship is genuine and continuing

• Generally, you both need to be aged 18 or over

 

•  You must pass health and character criteria.
   

Prospective Marriage Visa

If you intend to marry an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you may be entitled to apply for a prospective marraige visa.

Once granted,  you then you have 9 months to marry and then apply for the Spouse (temporary residnecy) Visa.

 
 Same-Sex Couples

Spouse (Temporary Residnecy) Visa

Once your spouse visa is granted, you will be issued with visa that allows you to stay in Australia for 2 years and you will have full work and study rights during this period.
