Case Study: Temporary and Permanent Partner Visas (Subclass 820 and 801)
Miss M first met her Australian partner, Mr T in Thailand. Mr T is a business development manager from an Australian company and travels to Thailand frequently. They soon developed a relationship.
After 7 months, Mr T proposed to Miss M and wished to bring her to MelbourneAustralia. However, Miss M was nervous about marriage and moving to Australia as she had never been to the country before. She also wasn’t sure if she could adapt into a new environment and find a job in Australia. After careful consideration, Miss M decided to come to Australia under a tourist visa for 3 months as a trial.
Miss M fell pregnant soon after she arrived in Australia. This was unplanned and they were expecting their child in 7 months. Mr T’s family and friends loved Miss M, so she decided to extend her tourist visa for another 3 months but was still considering marriage.
Mr T came to Smart Choice Education & Migration to ask for visa advice for Miss M that would allow her to stay in Melbourne Australia. Our registered immigration agents suggested they apply for an onshore partner visa solution (Subclass 820) under a de-facto relationship.
However, the issue at the time was they were not able to provide evidence of 12-month or longer de-facto relationship. In this case, we successfully helped the couple apply for a 12-month de-facto relationship exemption and lodged Miss M’s partner visa before her tourist visa expiry date.
Miss M’s partner visa has been approved and her baby girl has turned 2 years old. She can now apply for a permanent partner visa (subclass 801)
