Partner Visa in Australia
At Stojanovic and Associates, we help couples stay together in Australia. If you're in a genuine relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, you may be eligible for a partner visa.
Whether you're already in Australia or applying from overseas, we guide you through the right partner visa pathway—onshore, offshore, or through the Prospective Marriage Visa.
