Visitor Visa

If you want to be in Australia while your Australian Partner Visa Application is being processed (either because you applied offshore, or you haven’t yet applied for a partner visa), you will need to get another visa.

A visitor visa is the most common choice for applicants in this situation.

But there are some potential pitfalls that are important to avoid with an Australian visitor visa aplication – which can impact your partner visa application. A lot of misconceptions exist as well, so make sure you fully understand the implications and how the two applications relate before you apply.
