Navigating Partner Visa for Parents with Children
Are you planning to apply for a partner visa with your current partner and wondering if your children can be part of your visa application? Understanding the available pathways is important to ensure your family is united in Australia.
Partner Visas Options for Parents with Children
When applying for a partner visa in Australia, there are two types: Onshore Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) and Offshore Partner Visa (Subclass 309/100). Depending on your objective and timeline, you can decide which partner visa might be more beneficial for your circumstances. If you are unsure, speak to an immigration lawyer about the differences between an Onshore Partner Visa and an Offshore Partner Visa.
Can I Include My Children in My Application?
If you have children who are under your care, you can include your dependent children in your partner visa application. They will typically be granted the same visa as you. You will need to provide some evidence of the child’s relationship to you, such as a birth certificate and demonstrate that you have legal custody of the child.
If your relationship has broken down due to family violence in Australia, this can be a compelling and compassionate reason to support your partner visa application. The Australian immigration law generally prioritises keeping families together, especially for the children’s best interests.
