For those currently married to or in a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, there are several visa options available to assist couples in building their future together in Australia. This applies equally to those in same-sex relationships.
The criteria for partner visas in Australia are not based on labels, but rather on the authenticity and genuine commitment of the relationship. Every partner visa application requires core documentation such as certified copies of passports or national IDs, birth certificates or name change documents, marriage certificate (if relevant) and proof of the partner’s Australian citizenship, Australian permanent residency, or New Zealand eligibility.
For LGBTQIA+ partner visa applications, additional documentation may be required explaining gender changes (e.g., court or medical documents), periods of separation between the couple (work or safety) and supporting letters from organisations, clinics, or NGOs where safety is a concern may be vital in the application. With over decades of experience and a high calibre of successful applications for LGBTQIA+ partner visa applications, Nevett Ford is committed to providing safe, affordable, and exceptional services to reunite LGBTQIA+ couples in Australia. We are committed to providing ongoing guidance for couples whilst understanding that every relationship is unique.
Whether it’s applying for a partner visa, pursuing Australian citizenship, or growing your family through child or a parent visa, our team at Nevett Ford is dedicated to assisting you with every step of the way.
If you would like assistance with your application, it may be beneficial to consult an immigration lawyer.
Please don’t hesitate to book a consultation with Kiri to discuss your eligibility.
