What information do you need for an unmarried visa in Australia?

1. Who can apply for an unmarried couple visa?

If the applicant intends to get married or has lived with the sponsor for at least one year before submitting the visa application, he should apply for a spouse immigrant visa.

2. What conditions does the applicant need to meet?

In addition to clear requirements on the identity of the visa guarantor, the Immigration Bureau also requires that the applicant should be over 18 years old when approving such visas, and applicants over 16 years old must meet special conditions before applying. Applicant and visa sponsor cannot be of the same sex. As known adults, they are free to get married, and their marriage is recognized by Australia. In addition, the applicant must meet the requirements of health and examination.

1. After the visa is approved, the applicant must enter Australia 9 months after the visa is approved and marry the visa sponsor.

4. Can unmarried couples arranged by their parents or met through the Internet apply for such visas?

5. What should I do if the relationship between the applicant and the guarantor changes after entering the country with an unmarried couple visa?

The applicant enters Australia with an unmarried couple visa within the prescribed time limit and marries the guarantor within the validity period of the visa. If the relationship between the two parties changes afterwards, the applicant can still apply for a spouse immigrant visa in China.
