Immigration & Visas
Partner visa lawyers help couples apply for partner and spouse visas.
Evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship is central. Well-prepared applications reduce delays.
Partner visas keep families together. Applications are costly and evidence-heavy, so getting them right first time matters.
Partner visas are usually a two-stage process, temporary then permanent. Applicants must show a genuine and continuing relationship, and sponsors must meet sponsorship requirements.

Understand the next step
Describe the proposed pathway and relationship history without assuming eligibility from the relationship alone. Ask which evidence is relevant to the particular application.
Confirm professional and government charges separately and do not rely on a promised outcome.
Gather identity documents, visa records, decision letters and application history. Confirm who will give the advice and their scope of work.
Ask which requirements and evidence need assessment, including translations or reports. No provider can guarantee the application outcome.
Agree who receives correspondence and tracks requests. Keep a complete copy of lodged material and understand what you approve before submission.
Separate professional fees from government charges, translations and other expenses. Preparing an application does not necessarily include a review or court proceeding.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Provide expiry dates and the entire decision letter immediately. Review rights and dates depend on the particular decision and circumstances.
Directory guidance updated 19 September 2026. General information to help you prepare for a conversation with a professional; not advice about your individual matter. Check current requirements with the relevant authority.
Good to know
Financial, social and household evidence, and statements about the relationship's history and commitment.
Both can prepare and lodge visa applications. For refusals, cancellations and court appeals, or where there are criminal or character issues, an immigration lawyer is usually the better choice.
Many refusals can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal, but strict and short deadlines apply. Get advice as soon as you receive the decision.
