Morrisseythecat Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi! Just wondering if anyone has been through this situation before, it's a bit complicated! I moved to Australia 3 years ago with my then Kiwi de-facto partner on 461 visa, we broke up about a year and a half ago and i know my visa is still valid as it's not predicated on us staying together. But, my situation has now changed, i met a new partner and we would like to move in together. My visa does stipulate that it is valid providing i don't start a new relationship with a non special category visa holder. She would like to sponsor me to stay in Australia as a de facto partner but, if we move in together my visa becomes invalid and we would need to be living together for a year to obtain de facto status and thus a permanent residency visa! anyone have any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think this is one that is certainly worth speaking to an agent about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Fromm what you have posted it looks as if you have been misinformed about the applicable visa conditions. May I suggest that you consult a registered migration agent for advice about your options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
