De facto visa Australia allows a spouse of an Australian citizen or permanent resident to come to Australia. You and your sponsor must have been together in a de facto relationship for at least 12 month immediately before making the application. You need to be able to show that you and your partner have a mutual commitment to a shared life to the exclusion of all others and that the relationship is continuing. You will need to show that you have been living together for the entire 12 months immediately prior to lodging the applicant form. If there has been any period of separation during that 12 month period, then it must only be temporary.

You can still be in a de facto relationship even if you are still or were legally married to another person. In those circumstances you need to show that, you are legally divorced or permanently separated from that other person and you are in a genuine, continuing and exclusive relationship with your new spouse. When your lodged application is submitted the department of immigration and citizenship will take into consideration all of the evidence that establishes the genuineness of the relationship like sharing of important social and financial commitment for the application to be approved.
