π¨ PLANNING TO BRING YOUR PARTNER TO AUSTRALIA ON A VISITOR VISA?
READ THIS FIRST! π¦πΊβ€οΈ
Thinking of bringing your partner to Australia on a Visitor visa and applying for a Partner visa later?
β οΈ Things are changing.
The Australian Government has recently announced that "No Further Stay" conditions will be introduced on future Visitor visas. This can have a significant impact on people who hope to apply for another visa while in Australia.
If your Visitor visa has condition 8503 β No Further Stay, you may be prevented from applying for most other substantive visas while in Australia unless the condition is waived.
π‘ The important point:
Don't assume that being married to, or in a genuine relationship with, an Australian citizen or permanent resident automatically allows you to apply for a Partner visa onshore.
Your visa conditions, immigration history and individual circumstances all matter.
β€οΈ Planning your partner's journey to Australia? Get the strategy right BEFORE you book the flight or lodge the visa.
