Many of our Australia Permanent Residency Applicants going through as skilled workers worry that they won’t be able to bring along their partners if unmarried. There is a way for the partner to go through as a De Facto Partner.

Certain people wanting to settle in Australia permanently as the de facto partner of an Australian sponsor are required to be in a relationship with that sponsor for at least one year before they can apply. Living together is regarded as a common element in most on-going relationships. Partners who are currently not living together may be required to demonstrate a high level of proof that they are not living separately and apart on a permanent basis. Generally speaking this means showing documentation to support this.

New World Immigration can assist you to determine if you will qualify and can guide you through the process. If awarded this visa, the validity is indefinite, one can have working rights, and it leads to Permanent Residency.
