Chall77 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question but if someone could confirm the answer then I would be most grateful. I now have a girlfriend who can qualify for residency but this would be an option to explore and I'd really like to know if I could ask to have her added or would I need to start the whole process again? Any help is very much appreciated. Chall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You'd need to apply for a partner visa for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chall77 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 You'd need to apply for a partner visa for her. Is it as straight forward as that? We have been together but not for a while and both traveled extensively but often separately. Do you know what visa code this would be please?

blossom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 No it isn't that simple. It's just as hard as if she had been included on your visa in the first place. They will still want proof of a defacto relationship (living together) for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what visa code this would be please? With this statement it doesn't sound that you would qualify for the partner visa as you need to show you are in defacto relationship - with evidence such as joint mortgage/tenancy agreements, joint liabilities, joint accounts, bills going to same address, wills each other as beneficiaries. There is not much weight if any placed on photos etc. If you don't meet the 12 month defacto relationship requirement, there is the prospective marriage visa.

We've got a lot to think about and I can imagine it won't be straight forward! All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
