Partner Visa

Reunite with your spouse with a little help from HBG.

 

Whether you’re travelling to another country for work, education, or residency, sometimes, you may have to stay separated from your spouse for a while. But, that doesn’t have to be the case for you. If you’re travelling to Canada or Australia, Himalayan Business Group can help you bring your spouse with you to travel or live together.

To bring your spouse to Australia, you can pick from a variety of partner and dependent visa options. The basic eligibility criteria for all of these visa types is as follows:

 

• You must have a permanent residency or
• You should be an Australian or
• You should be an eligible New Zealand citizen and
• You should be an eligible sponsor
• You must also have a genuine and ongoing relationship with your spouse (the applicant)

 

If you’re an international student in Australia, you are eligible to bring your family along. You can either include them on your original student visa application or apply for their visas after you have begun your degree in Australia. Dependent visas are available for partners, spouses, and unmarried children under the age of 18.

 

Also, if you meet the basic eligibility criteria mentioned above, you are eligible to bring your de facto spouse as well. However, the relationship must be genuine and ongoing with both parties willingly consenting to it. And, in circumstances where you don’t live with your partner, you must show the Department that the separation is merely temporary.

 

Here’s a list of all available partner/dependent visa options:

 

• Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 870)
• Partner (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 820) (Onshore)
• Partner (Permanent) Visa (Subclass 801) (Onshore)
• Partner (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 309) (Offshore)
• Partner (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 100) (Offshore)
• Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

Basic Eligibility Criteria

• You must be above the age of 18
• You must be sponsored by an Australian Citizen, Australian Permanent Resident or eligible New Zealand citizen who is legally eligible to be a sponsor
• You must fit all health and character requirements
• Your dependent children (if any) can be included in your applications if they are meet certain eligibility requirements

 

HBG can help you even if your relationship has ended and one of the following circumstances apply to your situation:

 

There is a child of the relationship:

 

• Your partner died but you can prove that your relationship would have continued if your partner had lived and you have close business, cultural or personal ties in Australia;
• You or members of your family have been subjected to domestic violence.

Are you a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or work permit holder who wants to bring your family to Canada?
