What is a same-sex partner visa?

A same-sex partner visa allows individuals in a committed relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live together in Australia. It applies to both married and de facto same-sex couples, providing a pathway for partners to build their lives in Australia without discrimination based on sexual orientation. This visa is part of Australia’s inclusive migration system, ensuring that same-sex couples have equal access to immigration opportunities.

In many countries around the world, homosexuality is still criminalised, leaving LGBT individuals facing persecution, forced marriage, family violence or even the death penalty simply for being who they are.

How same-sex partner visas work in Australia

To be eligible for an LGBTIQ+ partner visa in Australia, you must be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. Your relationship can be either a legally recognised marriage or a de facto partnership. Both partners must meet health and character requirements, and the applicant must be able to provide sufficient evidence of the relationship, such as joint finances, shared living arrangements, and social recognition of the partnership.

将来のビザパス

For same-sex couples seeking long-term residency in Australia, the LGBTIQ+ partner visa offers a solid foundation. Once granted the permanent partner visa, individuals may later apply for Australian citizenship after meeting residency requirements. In addition to the partner visa, other pathways, such as the prospective marriage visa (subclass 300), are available for engaged but not yet married couples, allowing the applicant to come to Australia to marry their partner and apply for a partner visa thereafter. These pathways provide flexibility depending on your relationship status and future plans.
