Fancy Marrying An Australian?

Well, if you plan to marry (fiance), are married to/or living with someone (for 12 months), or are in a committed relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident, (this includes same sex couples) there is the partner-based visa for immigration to Australia.

As with all visas an application is assessed by the Australian immigration authority.

How does the partner visa work?
  • The Australian citizen/permanent resident will act as a sponsor for your visa.

This means that your sponsor will provide a written statement pledging to support you for your first two years in Australia, including accommodation and financial assistance to meet reasonable living needs.

As with all other visa’s Australia has health and character requirements.

I’m not suggesting you do, this post simply answers the question for people marrying an Australian and want to know where they stand with visas.

Easy way to get permanent residency when others are struggling to prove their innocence. My heart is aching as my brothers visa is rejected to study in Australia. I find 100's of people doing illegal things to attain PR here. Being true never help. I should say it is a tough path
