Arranged Marriage & Partner Visas: How to Provide Genuine Evidence?
When it comes to getting a partner visa, the biggest challenge isn't just filling out forms—it's proving that your relationship is genuine, committed, and built to last. Hence, you may wonder if applying for a partner visa is doable, especially when going through an arranged marriage process honouring your religion, cultural practices, and traditions.
What if my application for the Partner Visa is based on an arranged marriage by parents or relatives?
Arranged marriages are acceptable under Australian migration law, especially when they align with cultural practices and traditions. As long as the relationship is genuine, ongoing and meets all the visa criteria, your partner can apply for a Partner visa.
What do I need to do, and how do I provide genuine evidence for my partner's visa?
Be honest in your information and documents, and do not provide any false and misleading information for your visa application, as your visa application may lead to a visa refusal because of Public Interest Criteria (PIC) 4020. In the circumstances of when your Partner Visa is granted, there is still a likelihood of a visa cancellation.
Following the four pillars requirement is a good guideline for gathering and providing genuine evidence for your partner's visa application. The breakdown of the four pillars are:
Financial Aspects
Nature of the Household
Social Evidence
Commitment to Each Other
