De facto relationships and partner visas

De facto relationships and partner visa applications

A common area and a common scenario amongst Down Under Visa clients, and a great deal of confusion about what you can do and what you can't.
- Do we need to be under the same roof for 12 months?
- What if one of us is still legally married?
- Can we get a one year tourist visa and live together?
- Can we get a de facto partner visa so we can start a de facto relationship?
I've just made another page on the Down Under Visa website which should hopefully answer most of these questions and set the records straight about what a de facto relationship is and what is needed to get an Australian partner visa based on a de facto relationship. If this is an area that affects you, please read. And please feel free to share with friends and with social media.

Who are Down Under Visa? Who is Jeff Harvie?
Jeff Harvie and the Down Under Visa team have been doing this for a lot of years! Down Under Visa have brought thousands of couples to Australia from South East Asia over the years. Mostly from the Philippines, but we help increasing numbers of couples where the visa applicant is from China, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia. And what this means is we see a lot of success....and we also see failures when people go it alone after talking to their mate, or their relative, or that minimal-care-no-responsibility Facebook group run by Steve and Maribeth based on their own visa application! One application, and they feel qualified to advise others! It's not even LEGAL to do that!
