What proof do I need for a partner visa?

You’ll typically need to show strong evidence of your relationship—such as joint bank accounts, lease agreements, or correspondence over time. Our team can help you prepare this evidence before forwarding your case to our partner experts.

How is a PACS visa different from a spouse visa?
