Partner Visa Requirements & facts
You might be wondering if there are unusual facts about the partner visa requirements 309/100. Yes, there are, besides the facts an application must speak itself as evident as your relationship is. Here we will share some of the facts that most of you may have overlooked or not know.
Entitlement for Medicare Cover
Since after lodging the partner visa requirements application you are authorized for Medicare Cover. This entitlement has no conditions and applicable to all partner visa applicants, it is irrespective of whether your country is in healthcare accords with Australia.
This is most beneficial when you are planning for family and need regular appointments and also waiting to process your application i.e. 18 to 24 months. It can save your money during this situation and reduce the substantial cost of hospitals. Even if you are lodging partner visa application offshore, and apply for a visit visa during the process, you will still be entitled to Medicare cover.
For instance, if you lodged a prospective marriage visa (subclass 300), and your partner is while expecting visits to Australia and goes under the maternity services. When the child is born in Australia, all these services will be fully covered by Medicare cover.
Avoiding a visa refusal
The department has all the right to spy on all the information you provide in support of your application, you can say that they are snoops!!!
It is their responsibility to maintain the standard of the department and encourage only genuine applicants. Because the genuine applications get overlooked sometimes and the couples in a true relationship just suffer the stress and application process again.
They are smart and see the things on the microscopic level, even if you change your relationship status for any reason on your social accounts that would also be countable including dates. So here you need to make your accounts reflecting your real relationship status. Also if you haven’t considered updating your accounts after engagements or relationships, then you must update it after or before applying for a partner visa.
The Department of Home Affairs will closely look at your social media accounts so make sure you avoid such an issue.
Apart from this, the DHA will also inspect any joint or single bank account statements. You cannot pretend a joint account to credit amount for rental and utility bills, because your individual account statements can present different stories conflicting to the joint account scenarios. For example, if one of the partners is using accounts in Melbourne and the other one has transactions in Sydney. It will be questionable that must have a logical explanation. However if your partner is a frequent traveler to other cities, and this can be the reason that you are away from him/her.
Besides this, there may be many other intricacies about your case that your case officer might notice. Therefore to avoid any risks and issues you can avail professional migration services from Vision Consultants Australia. They can guide you completely before, during, and after the process.
