How We Can Help You Achieve the Australian Dream

At Stojanovic & Associates, we frequently hear from Australian citizens seeking to reunite with their Filipino partners in Australia. A common question we receive is: what steps can we take to make this happen?

Due to the nature of a long-distance relationship, it is mandatory for the pair to meet each other at least once. Where possible, visiting each other is recommended.

There are a few reasons why couples choose to live permanently in Australia as opposed to the Philippines. These include Australia’s vibrant multiculturalism, enhanced quality of life, greater earning potential, world-renowned educational institutions, and reliable healthcare system.

Before deciding to take this leap of faith, there are a few key components to understand. The first thing to note is that all travellers outside of Australia need to hold a valid Australian-issued visa. This is required whether you plan to visit or migrate permanently in the country. With the long list of visas online, it can be stressful to choose the appropriate visa application you wish to apply for. As you may be wanting your Filipino Partner to travel and live in Australia, this simplifies the question as to which visa you should consider. Essentially, there are two types of Partner Visas. These include:

• Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)
• Offshore Partner Visa (Subclass 309 / 100)

Ultimately, the individual circumstances of each couple will depend on the specific Partner Visa you need to apply for. These factors include if a couple is engaged, married, or in a de facto relationship. Additionally, in a Partner Visa application, it can also be possible to include a dependent child from a prior relationship. With the help of Stojanovic & Associates, we ensure to guide each couple in the right direction as we understand that this process is difficult to complete alone. Our experience in helping Filipino’s achieve their dreams of living in Australia with their partner can now be a reality. Allow us to assist you and
