The de-facto visa is suitable for couples who are living together, when one of them is an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

The application process consists of two parts – the sponsorship and the visa application. The Australian citizen or permanent resident acts as the sponsor.

The visa can be applied for either (on-shore) in Australia or from outside Australia (off-shore)

If you apply on-shore you will be entitled to a bridging visa which will have the same conditions as the visa you are applying for. This option is not available if you apply off-shore

To support your de-facto visa application, you must provide a variety of evidence including:
