Partner Visa matters often look straightforward until the application is tested against relationship evidence, sponsor history, visa history and the consistency of information across documents. Our focus is to understand the individual case before deciding how it should be prepared.
Onshore temporary and permanent Partner Visa stages for eligible spouse or de facto partner applicants.
Offshore provisional and permanent Partner Visa stages, including evidence planning across distance and time apart.
Previous relationships, sponsor history, periods apart, de facto evidence, character matters and other issues may require closer assessment.
There is no single document that proves a Partner Visa case. The application should be prepared around the legal pathway, the couple’s actual relationship history and evidence that is consistent across the whole record.
Depending on the circumstances, key considerations may include whether the applicant is applying as a spouse or de facto partner, whether the application is onshore or offshore, and whether the relevant subclass requirements can be met.
Preparation commonly involves more than relationship photographs. Sponsor history, identity, character, health and consistency between forms, statements and supporting material may all require attention.
Many applicants want to understand the current Department of Home Affairs charges before deciding how to proceed. The amounts below are provided as a guide for applications lodged from 1 July 2026 and should be checked again before payment or lodgement.

See strategy session detailsPartner Visa evidence is not just a folder of photographs. Applicants may need to show how the relationship developed, how the couple manages life together, how others recognise the relationship and how the commitment has continued over time.
FoundBound can help couples organise photographs, dates, locations and relationship milestones into a structured report that can be reviewed alongside the broader Partner Visa evidence strategy.
An initial consultation allows the adviser to understand the relationship history, visa history, sponsor history and other relevant facts before deciding the best way forward. It can also help identify missing evidence, inconsistencies and issues requiring explanation.
The purpose is not to promise certainty. It is to replace guesswork with a structured assessment and a clearer evidence plan.
