Application for migration to

Australia by a partner

Form

47SP

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (the

department) acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander peoples are the traditional custodians of the Australian

land.

Life in Australia – Australian values

The Australian Government encourages people to gain an

understanding of Australia, its people and their way of life, before

applying for a visa to live in Australia.

This includes understanding that the English language, as the

national language, is an important unifying element of Australian

society. Australian society is also united through the following

shared values:

• respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual;

• freedom of religion;

• commitment to the rule of law;

• Parliamentary democracy;

• equality of men and women;

• a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect,

tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and

pursuit of the public good;

• equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race,

religion or ethnic background.

The Life in Australia booklet provides more information on the

values that Australians share and their way of life. This booklet is

available in a wide range of languages. If you have not already

received a copy then it can be obtained from www.immi.gov.au

You must have read the Life in Australia booklet before

completing this application form. If you have difficulty, or are

unable to read the booklet, you may have the content of it

explained to you, for example, by a friend or relative. This form

contains a statement, that you must sign, that confirms you

understand and will respect the values of Australian society (as

explained in the booklet) and will obey the laws of Australia. This

includes acknowledging what would be required if you later

applied for Australian citizenship.

This statement must also be signed by each person aged 18 years

or over, who is included in this form.

About this application form

Complete this form if you wish to apply for a:

• Partner visa in Australia (subclass 820/801)

• Partner visa outside Australia (subclass 309/100)

• Prospective Marriage visa outside Australia (subclass 300).

For the purpose of this application:

• Partner means your spouse or de facto partner (including

same-sex partners)

• Fiancé(e) refers to the person you intend to marry. This is

usually your sponsor, or sponsoring partner.

If you are applying outside Australia, you will be applying

to migrate. If you are applying in Australia, you will be

applying for permanent residence. In this form, the term

‘migrate’ covers both.

Before completing this form, you should read the detailed

requirements in booklet 1, Partner Migration, which is available

from the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/

Further information on partner category migration is also

available from www.immi.gov.au/migrants/ or you can contact

the department’s enquiry line (see information box on page 5).

Before lodging the application

Please read this information carefully before you complete your

application. Once you have completed your application we

strongly advise that you keep a copy for your records.

Make sure that:

• you are eligible to apply;

• your fiancé(e) or partner is eligible to be your sponsor; and

• you have all the required documents, including a completed

form 40SP Sponsorship for a partner to migrate to Australia

from your fiancé(e) or partner and, if applicable, a form 47A

Details of child or other dependent family member aged

18 years or over completed and signed by each dependent

child and dependent relative of yours who is aged 18 years

or over (whether or not they are migrating with you). (These

forms are available from the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/allforms/)

Integrity of application

The department is committed to maintaining the integrity of the

visa and citizenship programmes. In relation to this application, if

you or a member of your family unit:

• provide, or have provided in a previous application, fraudulent

documents or false or misleading information (knowingly or

not); and/or

• fail to satisfy, or have failed to satisfy in a previous application,

the Minister of your or their identity;

this visa application may be refused and you, and any members

of your family unit, may become unable to be granted a visa for

specified periods of time, as set out in migration legislation.

If documents are found to be fraudulent or information to be

incorrect after the grant of a visa, the visa may subsequently be

cancelled.

47SP (Design date 12/14) - Page 2 © COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, 2014

Making a valid application

To make a valid application you must:

• complete this form;

• indicate the correct class of visa by selecting the type of

application in Part A – Application overview;

• provide your current residential address. Under legislation, a

post office box address will not be accepted as your residential

address;

• pay the required Visa Application Charge;

• apply for a Partner (subclass 820/801) visa if you are in

Australia and you are married or in a de facto relationship; or

• apply for a Partner (subclass 309/100) visa if you are outside

Australia and you are married, intend to marry before the visa

is decided or you are in a de facto relationship; or

• apply for a Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa if you are

outside Australia and you intend to marry after you arrive in

Australia; and

• be in the correct location when your application is received

by the department. This means that, if you apply outside

Australia, you must be outside Australia when the department

receives your application. Similarly, if you apply in Australia,

you must be in Australia when the department receives your

application.

You must also ensure you:

• complete the form in English;

• answer all questions truthfully; and

• provide supporting documents where necessary.

Documents in languages other than English that you provide

with this visa application must also be accompanied by an

accurate English translation of each of those documents.

If you provide incorrect information or documents, this

may affect whether or not you are granted a visa, or

whether or not your visa is subsequently cancelled.

Read the notes on each question. If a question is not applicable,

write ‘N/A’. Any changes or corrections you make must be

initialled and dated by each person who signs the form. If you

use Part O – Additional information of this form or attach

sheets of paper, each page must be signed and dated by all

persons who sign the form.

Where to lodge your application

In Australia

If you are in Australia when you lodge your application, we ask

that you send your application along with all accompanying

documents by post or courier to the relevant Partner Processing

Centre. For Partner Processing Centre contact details please refer

to the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/contacts/australia/processing-centres/partner/

Outside Australia

If you are outside Australia when you lodge your application,

please refer to the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas to find your nearest

Australian mission to lodge your application.

Note: Australian missions overseas vary greatly in the services

that they are able to provide. Please check the relevant Australian

mission’s website or contact the Australian mission to check if it

is preferable to post your application or to lodge it in person. At

some Australian missions, you may be required to make an

appointment to lodge your application in person.

After lodging the application

Under the Migration Act 1958, if your circumstances should

change (for example, if your relationship ends due to separation,

divorce or death or if you change your address), after you lodge

your application, you must inform the department in writing.

If you change your address, especially if it is your address for

correspondence, you can use form 929 Change of address and/

or passport details, which is available from the department’s

website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/, from any office of the

department or Australian mission. This is particularly important if

you apply for a Partner visa from outside Australia, are granted

the temporary visa and travel to Australia. The department needs

to be able to contact you to ensure that processing of your

application for the permanent visa can continue.

Note: Failure to notify the department of your change in

circumstance (including changes to address details) may result in

significant processing delays and possible visa refusal.

Visa Application Charge

Refer to Part M – Payment details of this form to calculate the

correct charge and make payment.

Refer to www.immi.gov.au/fees-charges for a complete and

current list of applicable fees and charges.

Fees and charges may be subject to change at any time and this

may increase the cost of a visa application.

Generally, Visa Application Charges are reviewed on 1 July each

year, and the exchange rates used to calculate the amount payable

in a foreign country are updated on 1 January and 1 July each year.

If you do not pay the full Visa Application Charge amount, your

visa application will not be valid.

Charges are generally not refundable, even if the application is

withdrawn or refused.

Health

All applicants for permanent visas including the main applicant,

spouse and any dependants must be assessed against the health

requirement. Even if the applicant’s spouse and dependants are

not included in the visa application, they must still be assessed

against the health requirement.

Applicants for a permanent visa will be asked to undergo a

medical examination, an x-ray if 11 years of age or older and an

HIV test if 15 years of age or older, as well as any additional tests

required by the Medical Officer of the Commonwealth (MOC).

Note: Applicants may have already undertaken a health

assessment for their visa. However, the department reserves the

right to request additional health examinations as part of this visa

application process.

Method of payment

In Australia

To make a payment, please pay by credit card, debit card, bank

cheque or money order made payable to the Department of

Immigration and Border Protection. Debit card and credit card

are the preferred methods of payment.

Outside Australia

Before making a payment outside Australia, please check with

the Australian Government office where you intend to lodge your

application as to what methods of payment and currencies they

can accept and to whom the payment should be made payable.

Contact details for all offices of the department in Australia and

for all Australian missions overseas are available from the

department’s website www.immi.gov.au/contacts/

47SP (Design date 12/14) - Page 3© COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, 2014

Who the form covers

The application form covers a family unit, namely a main

applicant and, if applicable, any dependants.

Dependent children

A dependent child may be your or your fiancé(e) or partner’s

child or step-child. ‘Step-child’ means a child of your current

partner or a child of your former partner when the child is under

18 years and you have a legal responsibility to care for that child

(for example, when your former partner is deceased and you

have legal custody of your former partner’s child). You will need

to provide a certified copy of the overseas or Australian court

order that you have in relation to the child.

A child of any age is considered not to be dependent if he or she is

married or in a de facto relationship or is engaged to be married.

A child aged 18 years or over will not be considered dependent

unless you can show that they are wholly or substantially reliant

on you for financial support for their basic needs of food, shelter

and clothing. You must also show that you have provided that

support for a substantial period and that the child is more reliant

on you than on any other person or source. Unless you can

provide evidence of this, they should apply separately.

Children of any age who have a total or partial loss of bodily or

mental functions that stops them earning a living are regarded as

dependent and part of the family unit (whether or not they

migrate with you). Give details of such children and whether or

not they are in your care or in an institution.

In all cases, you should attach evidence of your child’s

dependency on you.

Note: After you lodge your partner category visa application, the

departmental decision-maker may not be satisfied with the

submitted documentary evidence of a claimed biological

relationship. In such a case, to establish that claimed relationship,

you and your claimed dependant may need to undergo a DNA

test, the full costs for which you will pay.

Other dependants

If you are applying outside Australia, you may include relatives

other than dependent children in your application if they are

single (for example, unmarried, divorced or widowed), wholly or

substantially reliant on you for financial support for their basic

needs of food, shelter and clothing and they have been reliant on

you for that support for a substantial period. They must also be

more reliant on you for support than on any other person or

source.

A relative may also be considered dependent on you if they are

reliant on you for financial support because they have a mental

or physical disability which stops them from earning a living to

support themselves.

Other relatives dependent on you may include, for example, an

unmarried niece, a widowed aunt or a divorced parent.

If you have dependent children who are aged 18 years or

over or other dependants who are aged 18 years or over,

please obtain form 47A Details of child or other

dependent family member aged 18 years or over. A

form 47A must be completed for each dependant aged

18 years or over, whether migrating or not. Form 47A is

available from the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/allforms/, from any office of the

department or Australian mission overseas.

All dependent children and other dependants must meet

the health requirement, whether migrating or not.

Custody requirement

The department will seek to ensure that allowing a child to

migrate is not in contravention of Australia’s international

obligations in relation to the prevention of child abduction. If

your application includes a child aged under 18 years and the

child’s other parent is not migrating with you or there is any

other person who has the legal right to determine where the

child can live, you will need to provide a statutory declaration

from each of them giving permission for the child to migrate.

Alternatively, you can provide a certified copy of a valid court

order showing that you/your spouse has the legal right to remove

the child from their home.

Reducing family violence

Family violence is an unacceptable occurrence that has a tragic

impact on the lives of victims, the community and the economy.

The Australian Government is committed to achieving a

reduction in family and sexual violence, particularly against

women and their children. As part of this commitment, all

successful applicants will be provided with a link in their visa

grant letter to information about family and sexual violence,

forced marriage and Australian law, and the services and support

available within Australia.

Supporting documents

The documents you must provide with this application are

listed in Part J – Document checklist of this application form.

You may be asked to provide other documents during

processing. See Part 7 ‘Evidence to provide with your application’

of booklet 1, Partner Migration for more information.

You should provide all the documents necessary to support your

claims when you make your application.

If you cannot provide all the documents when you make your

application, you should tell the department which documents

are missing and when you expect to be able to provide them.

If you do not provide all the necessary documents, a decision

may be made on the information you have provided. It is in your

interest to support your application with as much information as

possible at the time of application.

‘Certified copies’ of documents mean copies authorised or

stamped as being true copies of originals by a person or agency

recognised by the law of your country. In Australia, they must be

certified by a justice of the peace or commissioner for

declarations or by a person before whom a statutory declaration

may be made.

All documents not in English must be accompanied by an

accurate English translation of the original. You may be asked to

provide the originals of your documents at a later stage. Do not

provide originals unless you are asked.

For further information about certified copies, statutory

declarations and English translation, see booklet 1, Partner

Migration, which is available from the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/allforms/ or from any office of the

department or Australian mission overseas.

47SP (Design date 12/14) - Page 4 © COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, 2014

Second stage process

Usually, 2 years after the Partner visa application was made, persons

who are holders of a temporary Partner visa are assessed as to

whether they meet the requirements for the grant of a permanent

Partner visa. However, the permanent visa may be granted without

having to meet the usual two-year waiting period if:

• at the time you apply, you have been in a partner relationship

with your partner for 3 years or more, or 2 years or more if

there is a dependent child of your relationship; or

• your partner was granted a Protection visa or a permanent

visa under the humanitarian programme and you were in the

relationship before the visa was granted and this had been

declared to the department at the time.

Important information about privacy

Your personal information is protected by law, including the

Privacy Act 1988. Important information about the collection,

use and disclosure (to other agencies and third parties, including

overseas entities) of your personal information, including

sensitive information, is contained in form 1442i Privacy notice.

Form 1442i is available from the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/allforms/ or offices of the department. You

should ensure that you read and understand form 1442i before

completing this form.

Warning: Under section 234 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act),

you may be prosecuted for deliberately providing false or

misleading information to the department.

Obtaining information about you from other agencies and

organisations

Under section 56 of the Act, the department may seek

information about you that is relevant to your migration

application from other agencies and organisations. The agencies/

organisations may include:

• federal, state, territory and foreign government agencies;

• federal, state, territory and foreign law enforcement agencies;

• state or territory housing authorities (including private

landlords);

• local government authorities in Australia or overseas;

• financial institutions;

• educational institutions;

• private businesses (including telecommunication and internet

service providers, insurance companies); and

• any other relevant businesses or agencies.

Immigration assistance

A person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses, or

claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in migration

procedure to assist you with your visa application, request for

ministerial intervention, cancellation review application,

sponsorship or nomination.

In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration

assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is exempt

from being registered. Only registered migration agents may

receive a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.

If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from

registration, gives you immigration assistance they are

committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.

Migration agents in Australia

Migration agents in Australia must be registered with the Office

of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of the

MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.

Migration agents outside Australia

Migration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to be

registered. The department may give some overseas agents an ID

number. This number does not mean that they are registered.

Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate

overseas.

Migration agent information

A migration agent is someone who can:

• advise you on the visa that may best suit you;

• tell you the documents you need to submit with your

application;

• help you fill in the application and submit it; and

• communicate with the department on your behalf.

If you appoint a migration agent, the department will assume

that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient,

unless you indicate otherwise.

Your migration agent will be the person with whom the

department will discuss your application and from whom it will

seek further information when required.

You are not required to use a migration agent. However, if you

use a migration agent, the department encourages you to use a

registered migration agent. Registered agents are bound by the

Migration Agents Code of Conduct, which requires them to act

professionally in their clients’ lawful best interests.

Information on migration agents, including a list of registered

migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA website

www.mara.gov.au

You can also access information about migration agents on the

department’s website www.immi.gov.au

Exempt persons

The following people do not have to be a registered migration

agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they must

not charge a fee for their service:

• a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child, parent,

brother or sister);

• a member of parliament or their staff;

• an official whose duties include providing immigration

assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider);

• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or

international organisation.

Appointing a migration agent/exempt person

To appoint a migration agent/exempt person you should

complete Part L – Options for receiving written

communications.

Your migration agent/exempt person should complete form 956

Advice by a migration agent/exempt person of providing

immigration assistance.

Form 956 is available from the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/allforms/

Options for receiving written communications

If you do not appoint a migration agent/exempt person you may

still authorise another person, in writing, to receive written

communications on your behalf. This person is called the

authorised recipient.

47SP (Design date 12/14) - Page 5© COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, 2014

Authorised recipient information

All written communication about your application will be sent to

your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to

have health and/or character information sent directly to you.

The department will communicate with the most recently

appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one

authorised recipient at any time for a particular application.

You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that

person as if they had been sent to you.

To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:

• Part L – Options for receiving written communications; and

• form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised

recipient.

Note: Migration agents/exempt persons do not need to complete

form 956A.

Form 956A is available from the department’s website

www.immi.gov.au/allforms/

Consent to communicate electronically

The department may use a range of means to communicate with

you. However, electronic means such as fax or email will only be

used if you indicate your agreement to receiving communication

in this way.

To process your application the department may need to

communicate with you about sensitive information, for example,

health, police checks, financial viability and personal

relationships. Electronic communications, unless adequately

encrypted, are not secure and may be viewed by others or

interfered with.

If you agree to the department communicating with you by

electronic means, the details you provide will only be used by the

department for the purpose for which you have provided them,

unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use them for

another purpose, or you have consented to use for another

purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.

The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the

security or integrity of any information sent to the department

over the internet or by other electronic means.

If you authorise another person to receive documents on your

behalf and they wish to be contacted electronically, their

signature is required on form 956 or 956A to indicate their

consent to this form of communication.

Note: Electronic communication is the fastest means of

communication available and the department prefers to

communicate electronically because this results in faster

processing.

9 months of being granted the visa (ie. a letter from the

Note: The department knows that it is often difﬁcult to

provide evidence of your intention in the future to live with

your ﬁancé(e) in a spouse relationship. The required

evidence depends on the circumstances of each case. If you

have evidence that relates to the ﬁnancial, household, social

context aspects of, and commitment to, your relationship,

you should submit this with your Prospective Marriage visa

intended marriage and can attest to your genuine intention

to live together in an ongoing spouse relationship.

86 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS

This acknowledgment must be signed by the main applicant and each

accompanying person aged 16 years or over.

I understand that if granted a visa:

• there is a two-year wait for social security payments, including

unemployment beneﬁts, for most newly arrived migrants;

• I will need to have enough money, even if unemployed, to support

myself for the ﬁrst two years and if I run out of money or fail to get a

job in that period, that would not be sufﬁcient reason to make me

eligible for social security income support payments;

• the cost of living in Australia, compared to many other countries, is

high;

• approval to migrate does not guarantee employment in Australia and

that it is entirely my own responsibility to secure employment after

arrival, including investigating my prospects before I arrive in

Australia;

• work availability varies signiﬁcantly from time to time in different

parts of Australia and that for many jobs in Australia, applicants must

be eligible for membership of a professional or industry organisation

and/or be able to be registered or licensed with an Australian state

authority before working in a particular occupation.

87 AUSTRALIAN VALUES STATEMENT

This statement must be signed by the main applicant and each person

aged 18 years or over who is included in this application.

I conﬁrm that I have read, or had explained to me, information provided

by the Australian Government on Australian society and values.

I understand:

• Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the

individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law,

Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of

egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and

compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good;

• Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals,

regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background;

• the English language, as the national language, is an important

unifying element of Australian society.

I undertake to respect these values of Australian society during my stay

in Australia and to obey the laws of Australia.

I understand that, if I should seek to become an Australian citizen:

• Australian citizenship is a shared identity, a common bond which

unites all Australians while respecting their diversity;

• Australian citizenship involves reciprocal rights and responsibilities.

The responsibilities of Australian citizenship include obeying

Australian laws, including those relating to voting at elections and

serving on a jury.

If I meet the legal qualiﬁcations for becoming an Australian citizen and

my application is approved I understand that I would have to pledge my

loyalty to Australia and its people.
