What is a same-sex partner visa?

A same-sex partner visa in Australia allows individuals in a genuine, committed same-sex relationship to live together with their Australian partner. Their partner must be either an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This pathway is available to both married and de facto same-sex couples, offering an opportunity to build their lives in Australia without discrimination based on sexual orientation. 

Applicants must provide evidence of their relationship’s authenticity, including shared finances, social aspects, and emotional commitment. The application process requires proving that the relationship is ongoing and genuine. The visa is designed to ensure that same-sex couples have equal rights and opportunities in Australia, offering a pathway to permanent residency for qualifying partners.

How same-sex partner visas work in Australia

Same-sex partner visas in Australia allow couples in genuine, committed relationships to live together in the country. The process involves two stages: a temporary visa is granted first, followed by a permanent visa after two years, provided the relationship is ongoing. Applicants must prove the authenticity of their relationship through shared finances, cohabitation, and social recognition. The Australian partner must sponsor the visa, and applicants must meet health and character requirements for eligibility.

将来のビザパス

Same-sex partner visa holders in Australia have access to future visa pathways that can lead to permanent residency and citizenship. For same-sex couples pursuing long-term residency in Australia, the LGBTIQ+ partner visa provides a strong foundation. After receiving the temporary partner visa (subclass 820), applicants may apply for a permanent partner visa (subclass 801) after two years, provided the relationship remains genuine and ongoing. Additionally, holders may be eligible for Australian citizenship once they meet residency requirements. 

The partner visa provides a pathway for same-sex couples to secure long-term stability, ensuring equal rights for same-sex couples within Australia’s immigration system. If you have questions regarding the future visa pathways of an LGBTIQ+ partner visa, do not hesitate to reach out to Australian Migration Agents to assist you on your visa journey.

Can same-sex couples apply for a partner visa in Australia?

Yes, same-sex couples are eligible to apply for partner visas in Australia. Australian migration laws guarantee that same-sex couples are treated equally to heterosexual couples throughout the visa application process.

What are the eligibility requirements for a same-sex partner visa?

To be eligible for a same-sex partner visa, you must be in a genuine, committed relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. Additionally, you must meet health and character requirements and provide strong evidence of your relationship.

Can I apply for a same-sex partner visa if we are in a de facto relationship?

Yes, same-sex de facto relationships are recognised in Australia for partner visa applications. To apply as a de facto couple, you must demonstrate that you have lived together for at least 12 months, though exceptions may apply in specific circumstances.

What documents do I need to prove my same-sex relationship for the visa application?

You will need to provide evidence of your relationship, such as documents showing joint finances, shared living arrangements, and social recognition of your partnership. Examples include joint bank statements, lease agreements, utility bills, and photos taken together at events.

What if I fear to go back to my Country because of my sexual orientation?

If you fear returning to your home country due to your sexual orientation, you may be eligible to apply for protection in Australia under the humanitarian program. If you are in a same-sex relationship and fear returning to a country where you could face discrimination, harm, or persecution, you can apply for a Protection Visa (subclass 866) in addition to, or instead of, a partner visa.
