FAQ Question – Should I apply for 300 or 309 Offshore Partner Visa – What is the difference between a 300 and 309 Visa, what is the difference between, married, de facto and boy friend/girl friend relationships.
Answer: The offshore options available (either 300 or 309) rely upon the “totality” of the evidences you have accumulated over the course of your relationship and to what extent your relationship is integrated across the 4 pillars. I come across many, many couples that have known each other for 3+ years, yet an assessment of the evidences points towards a girl friend/boy friend relationship not a de facto or spousal relationship as required by the 309 visa (Note: Migration law has specific requirements that identify the attributes of a de facto and spousal relationship).
I provide a free consultation and assessment. This provides you with a risk-free way of understanding where you stand in terms of evidence and whether the conservative approach of the 300 Prospective Marriage visa is a better strategy in your personal circumstances.
