Marriage and De Facto Relationship Proof for Subclass 801/100 Partner Visa Applications
The Partner Visa (Subclass 801/100) is the second stage of the Partner Visa process. This visa allows applicants to remain in Australia permanently with their Australian partner. The applicant must provide supporting evidence to prove their genuine and ongoing relationship to qualify for this visa.
What is the Difference between Marriage and De Facto for Partner Visa?
Applicants in a marital relationship must prove their marriage is legal under the law. For a de facto relationship, couples must demonstrate they have been together for at least 12 months or registered their relationship in an Australian state or territory before lodging the Partner Visa.
What is the supporting evidence for the Partner visa (SC 801/100)?
There are 4 pillars of evidence for partner visa applicants that act as a guideline:
Financial aspects
Household arrangements
Social aspects
Commitment to each other
The supporting evidence for married couples and de facto couples are:
Married couples will require documents of their marriage certificate (certified translated if the document is not in English) and evidence of both partners entering the marriage willingly and intend to continue the relationship.
For de facto couples, they will need to continue to prove that they are in a committed relationship and provide documents showing that they share responsibilities and contributions to the relationship.
