Family Reunion Visa Requirements and Process

Family reunion is one of the most important aspects of Australian immigration. The Australian government recognizes the importance of keeping families together and offers various visa options for family members to reunite with their loved ones in Australia.

Types of Family Visas

Partner Visa Process

Partner visas are among the most complex family visa applications. They require extensive documentation to prove the genuineness of your relationship and typically involve a two-stage process.

Stage 1: Temporary Partner Visa

The temporary partner visa allows you to live in Australia while your relationship is assessed. This stage typically takes 12-18 months to process.

Stage 2: Permanent Partner Visa

After two years on the temporary visa, you can apply for permanent residency if your relationship is still genuine and continuing.

Required Documentation

Family visa applications require comprehensive documentation to prove relationships and meet eligibility criteria. This includes financial documents, photos, communication records, and statutory declarations.
