Partner visa requirements explained by a registered agent in Brisbane: who’s eligible, the relationship evidence needed, sponsorship, and the two-stage process.
An Australian partner visa lets the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia and, in time, gain permanent residency. To qualify, you generally need a genuine and continuing relationship with an eligible sponsor, you both need to meet the relationship definition (married or de facto), and you must meet health and character requirements. Your partner sponsors you and takes on legal obligations as part of the application. The core of a partner visa isn’t a test or a points score, it’s evidence: you have to prove your relationship is real, exclusive, and ongoing. The visa is usually a two-stage process, from a temporary visa to a permanent one. Here’s what’s actually required.
