FAMILY MIGRATION


The Family migration scheme covers a range of visas such as:

    *Spouse visas - including defacto and interdependent partners

    *Prospective spouse visas

    *Parent visas

    *Child visas

    *Remaining relative visas

    *Sponsored family visitor visas

In order to apply for a Spouse or Prospective Spouse visa, the visa applicant and the sponsoring spouse/partner must know each other and be able to provide proof of their relationship.

For many family migration visas it is important that a genuine familial relationship can be established and in the case of minor children that both parents consent to the child's migration.
