Family & Partner Visas

Family and partner visas allow eligible individuals to live in Australia on the basis of their relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. These visas are subject to detailed eligibility criteria and careful scrutiny, particularly in relation to the genuineness and continuity of the relationship.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice on family and partner visa pathways, assisting clients to understand eligibility requirements, evidentiary standards, and the application process. Our approach is careful and structured, recognising that these matters often involve significant personal, financial, and long-term considerations.

​

Applications for family and partner visas require extensive supporting documentation to demonstrate the nature of the relationship, shared life arrangements, and future intentions. We advise clients on how these requirements apply to their circumstances and on preparing applications that are accurate, consistent, and compliant with legislative and policy expectations.

​

Where matters involve complexity, such as previous visa refusals, periods of separation, or unusual personal circumstances, we provide strategic advice on risks and options before an application is lodged. Our role is to ensure clients proceed with clarity and realistic expectations.
