Partner Migration
Visa Options
If you are married to, engaged to, or living in a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, your partner may sponsor you for migration to Australia.
The main partner visa options are as follows:
- Partner Visa
-
Partner visas are for people who are married or in a defacto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible NZ citizen.
This leads to permanent residence, usually over a period of 2 years.
- Fiance (Prospective Marriage) visa
-
The fiance or prospective marriage visa is a 9-month temporary visa which allows applicants to travel to Australia to marry their Australian partner.
Once married in Australia, you would look at applying for a Partner visa to obtain your permanent residence.
