Applying for a Partner Visa can seem overwhelming, but it’s a crucial step for couples wanting to build their life together in Australia. To be successful with a partner visa application, you need to demonstrate that your relationship is genuine, ongoing and to the exclusion of all others.
When assessing your application, the decision-maker will look for evidence across four key pillars to ensure your relationship is genuine and committed. Let’s break these down:
The Financial Aspects: This pillar focuses on the financial interdependence between you and your partner. It includes:
– Joint ownership of property or assets
– Shared liabilities, like mortgages or loans
– Joint bank accounts and shared household expenses
The Nature of the Household: This considers how you share your daily life and living arrangements:
– Living together in a shared home
– Shared responsibilities for children and household chores
– Joint utility bills and mail addressed to both partners
The Social Aspects: This pillar evaluates your relationship’s public and social recognition:
– Joint social activities and group memberships
– Travel and future plans
– Statements from friends and family confirming your relationship
The Nature of the Commitment: This is about the depth and longevity of your relationship:
– The length of your relationship and living arrangements
– Knowledge of each other’s personal circumstances
– Emotional support and companionship
By providing thorough evidence across these four pillars, you can strengthen your partner visa application.
Partner visa applications can be complex and require a significant amount of evidence to satisfy the four pillar requirements. Providing sufficient evidence is challenging for many couples.
