Can we get a partner visa if we live with our parents?

Couples who live with their parents can get a partner visa, because the law asks whether the couple shares a life together, not whether they live alone. The evidence should show how the couple shares a room or space, contributes to the household and is treated as a couple by the family. Photographs at family events, shared responsibilities for children or elderly relatives and statements from household members can all help. A short explanation of why the family lives together helps the Department understand the arrangement. Our article on the partner visa living with parents explains how this is presented.

What if our lease or bills are in a parent's name?

A lease or bills in a parent's name do not stop a partner visa, but the couple needs other evidence that they live at the same address and share household responsibilities. Letters, bank statements, licences and enrolment records sent to both partners at that address are useful. Form 888 statements from relatives who live in the home can describe the household. Our article on partner visa household evidence lists the records that help.

Do Hurstville couples who keep money separate need a joint bank account?

Hurstville couples who keep money separate do not need a joint bank account for a partner visa, although it is common evidence of the financial aspects of a relationship. Couples who keep money separate for cultural or family reasons can show financial sharing through transfers, shared purchases, one partner supporting the other and joint responsibility for major costs. The explanation must be honest and match the records. Our article on partner visa separate finances gives examples.

How should cultural practices be explained in the relationship statement?

Cultural practices should be explained in the relationship statement plainly and in the couple's own words, so the Department understands why the relationship looks the way it does. This includes how the families met, the role of parents in the marriage or engagement and why the couple organises money or living space in a particular way. Our article on partner visa cultural differences explains how decision makers approach these issues.

How does My Migration Lawyers prepare Hurstville partner visas for family households?

My Migration Lawyers prepares Hurstville partner visas for family households by mapping how the household actually works, who pays for what and who lives in the home, and then choosing evidence that shows the couple's shared life within that household. The firm drafts the relationship statement with both partners, arranges Form 888 statements from suitable relatives and friends, and anticipates the questions a decision maker may ask about a home shared with parents. The fixed fee is agreed with the couple in writing at the outset. Our page on the Subclass 820 visa covers the onshore pathway.
