15 Tips for Submitting a Successful Partner Visa Application
- Know the details of the appropriate visa subclass.
- Start establishing evidence of your relationship. There are minimum time requirements in many cases.
- Save money for the application fees. These visas can be very expensive and there are not payment plans. Your application will not be accepted until full payment is made.
- Give yourself enough time to apply for the visa. It can take several months to gather the relevant information and evidence.
- Provide great evidence. You need to provide clear and in-colour evidence, translated to English by an Accredited Translator
- Do not provide originals if not required. You may not get it back.
- Get copies of evidence certified when required. Copy/save your entire application before submitting it in case you need to apply again.
- Review the appropriate Application Forms far in advance to gather relevant information.
- Have someone else review your Application, ensuring critical information is correct
- Make sure you and your partner provide matching information, especially for dates.
- Provide true, accurate and complete information. Immigration will cross-reference information provided and untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete information may cause delay or even refusal.
- Keep immigration updated if you change address, phone number or email to be sure you do not miss any correspondences or requests.
- Do not submit your application unless you are certain you meet the criteria and have submitted a complete Application. You do not get your money back if your application is refused. Immigration does not consider evidence that would not have been available at the time of application.
- Know your rights and conditions while you wait for a decision. Depending on the visa you apply for, your travel to/from Australia may be restricted. Know these restrictions before travel plans.
- Consult a Registered Migration Agent. Many people will offer their personal advice and experiences, but each case is different and relying on advice from anyone but a Migration Agent or the Department of Home Affairs is usually unreliable.
