A partner visa consultation involves providing advice and assistance to individuals who wish to sponsor their partner to live with them in Australia. The partner visa category allows Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their spouse, de facto partner, or same-sex partner to live with them in Australia.
To be eligible for a partner visa, the sponsoring partner must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, and they must be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with their partner. The applicant partner must also meet health and character requirements and demonstrate that they are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with their sponsoring partner.
There are two stages in the partner visa application process: Stage 1 is the temporary visa stage, which allows the applicant to live and work in Australia for a period of up to two years. Stage 2 is the permanent visa stage, which allows the applicant to live and work in Australia indefinitely.
Partner visa consultation involves providing individuals with information on the eligibility criteria, application process, costs, and timeframes. A registered migration agent or lawyer can also provide advice on other visa options that may be available, such as the Prospective Marriage visa or the Contributory Parent visa, and help individuals develop a long-term immigration strategy.
Overall, partner visa consultation involves providing individuals with the information, guidance, and support they need to successfully navigate the partner visa application process and reunite with their loved ones in Australia.
