Frequently Asked Questions
What is a de facto relationship?
A de facto relationship is a committed relationship between two people who are not married but live together on a genuine domestic basis. The relationship must generally have existed for at least 12 months before applying, unless it's registered or there are compelling circumstances.
How long does the partner visa process take?
Current processing times vary, but typically the temporary visa (820/309) takes 12-24 months, and the permanent visa (801/100) is usually processed around 2 years after the temporary visa application.
Can I work on a partner visa?
Yes, once your partner visa is granted (even the temporary stage), you have full work and study rights in Australia with no restrictions.
What if we separate during the process?
If you separate during the process, you generally cannot continue with the partner visa application. However, there are some exceptions, such as cases involving family violence or if you have children together.
Can I include my children in the application?
Yes, you can include your dependent children in your partner visa application. They will be granted the same visa as you and can live, work, and study in Australia.
