De Facto Relationships and Registered Relationships. NOT simple!
Can you get an Australian Partner Visa from the Philippines simply by getting a Registered Relationship Certificate? No you may not!
Want to bring your wife, husband, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend or child to Australia from the Philippines, China, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia? Get a FREE VISA ASSESSMENT from Down Under Visa today by clicking the link in the description and spending five minutes only.
We get a lot of our free online visa assessments from couples who don’t want to marry. They do a bit of research (usually Facebook groups) and decide to get a Registered Relationship Certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages and to apply as a de facto couple.
A de facto relationship means that you lead a shared life together. You share a household and you share your lives. Having spent two weeks in hotels and resorts doesn’t even come close. Even married couples must prove that they lead a shared life!
To be in a de facto relationship that the Department will recognise, you need to “set up house together” and start living together as a committed couple. Do the shopping together. Do the housework. Pay the bills from joint bank accounts. Think and act in terms of “us” and “our” rather than his and hers. It should be for 12 months. A Registered Relationship? It allows you to shorten that time to around 6 months, but it’s not the “only thing you need”.
They don’t grant partner visas on the strength of you intending to commit your lives to one another. They won’t let your partner settle permanently in Australia on a promise. They need to see that you are actually doing it, and doing it for a reasonable length of time.
We will assess your case and tell you honestly and often bluntly whether you qualify. There are no “yes-men” or visa shop sales staff here! Only one very honest and ethical migration agent who will not help you to waste your time……and who has some great ways to help you to build that relationship which will work.

Want an Australian Partner Visa from the Philippines but you have a criminal record?
You probably know that a criminal record can prevent you from sponsoring your wife or partner from the Philippines to Australia. Yes, that law exists. Very real, and can be a serious issue.

To explain!
This rule is there to keep your lady safe from the risk of domestic violence at the hands of an Australian sponsor with a history of violence. Previously? Ladies DID on occasion get sponsored by violent men, and they are very vulnerable being in a strange country. We’ve had clients in the past get caught. Now they ask for police clearances (National Police Clearances etc) from sponsors to assess this risk.
They are on the lookout for men (Australian sponsors) with previous criminal convictions for violent crimes, like assaults and armed robbery. NOT being caught with a bag of dope or being a drunk driver! They only care about violent crimes.
Do you have a past criminal record? Do you have a past conviction for a violent crime?Ths does not alway mean a visa refusal! There are shades of grey, and we can generally help men who have long since moved on from mistakes of the past to show that they are no current risk to the visa applicant. Definitely get some professional help!

Can we make an Easier and Faster Australian Visa Application from the Philippines?
Can Down Under Visa (or any good Registered Migration Agent) speed the application though without all this nonsense paperwork?
Australian Visa applications, especially from the less affluent countries in South East Asia like the Philippines, have a tough job convincing the Australian Government that they are genuine and not just trying to live the good life. If the doors were open and there was no scrutiny, the Philippines would be empty by this time next week!
So we have ONE application opportunity to convince them that you have a good reason for visiting or for staying permanently. With tourist visa applications especially, it's extremely hard to prepare and lodge a successful application after a refusal, and partner visas are very expensive! You engage the services of Down Under Visa to get you a visa application. We cannot get you results and save you work or do rush jobs at the same time. It just doesn’t work like that!
We reserve the right to insist on the highest possible level of information and relationship evidence from you, because we can’t build a case on rubbish! We’ve done thousands of Australian visa applications over the years, and we have a reputation to uphold of never letting our clients down. And that calls for us being painfully honest and being tough when we need to be.
Can you handle that? Our thousands of successful former clients all seem to think it was worthwhile. And why wouldn’t they?
