Defacto Visas
Hi Peeps
Just a quick question, my friend was in Melbourne on a PR visa she brought her partner and kiddie with her they have been there 4 years she was the main applicant but her partner walked out over a year ago and is now living in Perth with his new woman.
Anyway she has met a new partner well she known from a long time ago and he has been out to Oz to see her for a 6 month holiday and they are hoping that he can move out there permanently as her defacto, would this be possible
I know I read somewhere that if a partner/spouse walks out and abandons his/her children then there can be a second defacto visa applied for before the 5 years period that they usually have in place.
Sorry for being so long winded any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Defacto Visas
You mention she was the main applicant, which suggests they came on a skilled migrant visa. If this is teh case, she actually has never sponsored anyone for a partner visa and there would be no restriction upon her doing so now (subject to meeting the requirements of course).

Your friend's ex-partner was not sponsored for a defacto visa if he came on her skills (175/176). He was a secondary applicant, which is completely different and has no bearing at all on her sponsoring a new partner.

Re: Defacto Visas
Bermudashorts/ Dorothy thank you for the replies, my friend was on a RSMS visa which is a PR visa she was under the impression that her ex was sponsored on her visa in some way
Yes I think further down the line they may well apply for a PMV.
