Partner Visa Adelaide

Tracyblanda16 Nov, 2020Legal

Australian citizens and permanent residents may sponsor their spouse or de facto partner for permanent residency. This is a two-step process consisting of a provisional Subclass 820 visa for which the application is lodged within Australia, followed by a permanent Subclass 801 visa. Proving genuineness of a relationship requires a great deal of evidence. Simply marrying or registering a de facto relationship will not be enough to satisfy the Department for the visa grant. It is difficult to prove genuineness if the visa applicant and sponsor have not met in person, and thus relationships which have only ever existed online would unlikely be sufficient for any partner visa subclass.
