Did you know?

Did you know that if you are eligible to apply for a Partner visa (Subclass 309/100) application offshore, you do not need to be married nor living together at the time of application as per regulation 309.211 (3) however you must prove your relationship and your intention to marry. Evidence of your marriage must be provided at the time of decision.
