📢 Important information from the Department of Home Affairs regarding Partner visa applications.

We are continuing to process more visa applications for partners. It is important that applicants provide all the information we need to assess their application.

We are also contacting visa applicants by phone. This is to tell them what information we still need to progress their application. These calls may occur outside Australian office hours. They may also come from any of our global processing offices. Departmental staff will identify themselves before asking you for any information.

Our officers will NEVER ask for your:
— credit card information,
— banking details, or
— ImmiAccount password.

Any information or documents we request of you should be sent to us through your ImmiAccount.

If your application contains all the required information, including health and police checks, it can be processed more quickly.

Are you in Australia and your visa is about to expire?

If you intend to stay longer than your current visa period, you must ensure you have taken the right steps to remain in Australia legally.

You could do this by making a valid application for another suitable visa, before your current one expires.

Please note: Even though there MAY be opportunities to apply for a visa after your current visa expires and while you are in Australia, this is NOT recommended.

Overstaying your visa, remaining in Australia without a visa may lead to unwanted consequences.

It can be challenging choosing the right kind of Partner Visa.

Under Migration Law, applicants typically need to meet the legal definitions of "married" or "de facto relationship" to be able to apply for their chosen Partner Visa.

Depending on a number of factors, long distance relationships where applicants are not living together may pose a problem with satisfying these legal definitions.

If you are thinking of taking the next step and are unsure, contact Simplify Migration so we can help you choose the most suitable pathway!
