Partner Visa
Have you met that special someone, your soul mate and the love of your life? Moreover, would you like that special someone to come to Australia and live with you. Undoubtedly, the answer will be yes for couples who are crazy in love. Couples will need to apply for the Partner visa to live together in Australia.
If you have met that wonderful person, you and this person will need to be married or live in a de facto relationship to apply for this visa, which is often known as a spouse visa or a de facto visa.
