Frequently Asked Questions
The subsequent 482 visa allows a partner to be added to an already approved 482 visa. This allows the primary visa holder to bring their spouse or de facto partner to Australia or remain in Australia if they are already here on a different visa.
Yes, same-sex couples are eligible to be added to a 482 visa. The Australian government recognises and supports same-sex relationships.
Yes, you can include your dependent children in your application. However, each child must meet certain requirements and there may be additional documentation needed for their inclusion.
To add a partner to a 482 visa, you need to provide evidence of your genuine relationship, such as marriage or de facto relationship documents. You will also need to meet health and character requirements.
Additionally, the sponsor will need to extend their sponsor obligation with a written letter of support. We will provide you with a template to assist with meeting this requirement.
Yes, once you are added to the 482 visa, you will have work rights in Australia. You can seek employment without any restrictions during the validity of the visa.
Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency through other visa pathways, such as employer-sponsored permanent visas or skilled migration visas. It is advisable to consult with a registered migration agent to explore the available options.
Yes, you may be granted a Bridging visa when being added to a 482 visa if you are onshore.
The Bridging visa will come into effect once your previous visa expires and will allow you to remain lawfully in Australia until a decision is made on your subsequent 482 visa application. It is important to note that the conditions and rights associated with the Bridging visa may vary, so it’s recommended to consult with a qualified migration agent for specific guidance tailored to your situation.
If you are located offshore you will not be eligible for a bridging visa.
If your spouse or partner did not declare your relationship in their 482 visa application then adding you to their visa may not be straightforward. If this is the case, it is highly recommended that you schedule a consultation so we can assess your situation prior to commencement.
