Family Visa FAQs

Answers to common questions about family reunion visas

Processing times vary: Australia partner visas (12-24 months), UK spouse visas (3-12 weeks), NZ partnership visas (3-12 months). Parent visas often take longer, especially for Australia (up to 30+ years for non-contributory).

Evidence includes joint financial documents, shared residential history, communication records, photos together, travel records, statements from friends/family, and future plans. Each country has specific requirements we'll guide you through.

Most partner visas allow full work rights. Parent visas often have no work rights (except NZ Retirement Visa). Child dependents may work if over certain age. We'll clarify based on your specific visa type.

UK has strict income thresholds (£29,000+ for spouse visas). Australia requires adequate support means. NZ needs commitment to support family members. Parent visas often require Assurance of Support bonds or significant savings.
