Visa Rejection Reasons

Factors that can get your visa rejected

Lack of Financial Evidence

Having no proof that one has sufficient money to spend during their stay, either through bank statements or financial guarantees, will result in a visa denial.

Inadequate or Inaccurate Documentation

Failure to prepare proper or inadequate documents leads to a direct rejection since all the documentation has to be perfect.

Previous Violation of Visa or Criminal Record

Staying beyond visa, breaching immigration rules, or even having a criminal record previously can be another important reason for your visa denial.

Failure to Provide Strong Ties in Your Country

Inability to show any strong personal, professional, or financial connections to your home country may raise a question over your intention to return.

Improper Justification of Purpose for Visit

Failure or ambiguity in explaining the purposes for visiting a country or failing to provide evidence like itineraries or invitation letters may result in your visa rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work on an 820 801 partner visa in Australia?

Yes, both the temporary (820) and permanent (801) partner visas allow you to work in Australia without restrictions. You can engage in full-time, part-time, or casual employment, as well as run your own business if you choose to do so.

How long does it take to process a Partner Visa Australia?

The processing time for the partner visa Australia varies, but typically, the temporary visa (820) takes 12-24 months to process.

Processing times may vary based on individual circumstances and the current workload of the Department of Home Affairs.

Can I include my children in my Partner Visa Australia application?

Yes, you can include your dependent children in your Partner Visa Australia application. They must meet the definition of a dependent child, which generally means they are under 18 years old or, if over 18, are financially dependent on you due to full-time study or a disability.

What happens if my relationship ends during the Partner Visa Australia process?

If your relationship ends while you're on a temporary Partner visa (820), you must inform the Department of Home Affairs immediately. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for other visa options or may need to leave Australia. It's crucial to seek professional advice in this situation.

Can I apply for a Partner Visa in Australia while I'm visiting Australia on a tourist visa?

In most cases, yes, you can apply for a Partner Visa Australia (820/801) while in Australia on a tourist visa. However, your tourist visa must not have a 'No Further Stay' condition (8503) attached to it. It's important to check your visa conditions and seek professional advice before applying.
