Due to the high visa application fee on Partner visas, many couples choose to prepare and lodge their Partner visa themselves. While this can save on costs of professional representation, many couples struggle through the process of their application, and unfortunately this can often lead to a visa refusal.
Partner visa applications can be complex and require a significant amount of evidence. Knowing how to prepare for your Partner visa application is essential and will substantially increase the chances of a successful visa grant.
To help those who want to self-represent for their Partner visa process, we have developed a support package that provides the tools to confidently lodge a Partner visa.
The Partner Visa Support Package begins with a detailed consultation to understand your unique situation and ensure that you have all the necessary information to move forward. We provide a comprehensive document checklist, tailored to your specific circumstances, so you know exactly what is required. Additionally, we offer links to key services, including translation, health assessments, and police checks, to streamline your application process.

Mistakes that can affect your Partner visa outcome
Applying for a Partner visa independently can lead to costly and sometimes irreversible mistakes. Collaborating with a Registered Migration Agent not only ensures that you meet all requirements but also involves a thorough gap analysis to ensure no critical information is overlooked. Below, we outline some common pitfalls to avoid when determining eligibility and preparing your application.
- Failure to consider what you have previously disclosed to the Department can also have a detrimental impact on your application if there are discrepancies with information submitted.
- One of the most frequent reasons for visa rejection is the failure to provide adequate evidence that proves the relationship is genuine and ongoing. The Department requires convincing documentation to evidence your relationship.
- Failure to adequately address each of the ‘four pillars’ of your relationship can result in a visa refusal.
- Meeting health and character requirements is essential for a Partner visa. Delays or omissions in this area can negatively impact your application.
- Submitting poor-quality copies of important documents in your Partner visa application can impede the case officer’s ability to verify your information.
- Not acting on official Requests for Information (RFI) can result in a decision being made, without further time to provide additional information.
