Enduring a partner visa relationship breakdown in Australia is no doubt a very difficult and confusing time for both parties involved. If you are considering a partner visa cancellation, make sure you know all your rights beforehand.

As the old adage goes, breaking up is never easy. It can be a heavy emotional, mental and even physical burden which leaves you with little energy for anything else.

Whilst we would never wish this upon anyone, questions regarding partner visa breakups are a harsh reality of the migration industry and it is extremely important that you know where you stand regardless of whether you are a partner visa sponsor or an applicant.

Please consider carefully the options you have before making any final decisions on your partner visa relationship breakdown. Make sure you understand exactly the implications that your decision will have not only on yourself, but also your partner or spouse because whichever decision you make will ultimately affect both your futures.

Partner Visa Applicants

Have a look at our informative blog post which explains your options if your relationship has ended. you’ll find it here.

Partner Visa Sponsors

If your relationship has ended, you can inform the Department of Home Affairs and withdraw your sponsorship by completing a Form 1022, change of circumstances form, or simply email the DHA. You cannot “cancel” your partners visa or withdraw their visa application if it has not yet been decided.

Once  you have informed the DHA, it  will contact your former partner for further information, and then make a decision on the visa application, appropriate to your ex partner’s circumstances.

You should seek advice

As always, we highly recommend seeking advice on your situation, especially if you are seriously considering a partner visa separation. A consultation can help you to feel at ease with your next steps and hopefully, make this part of the process slightly less stressful.

Charisse, Amy, and their team at AHWC have helped me multiple times with my visas throughout the years. They always give great advice, are efficient, and are always quick to respond to any query or doubts you may have with your situation. They’ve also even helped a few of my friends. Highly recommend to anybody!

Shelby was AWESOME I cannot THANK her enough for getting my husbands 309/100 VISA lodged and sorted for us. She was professional, helpful, a calming influence when i would get stressed, and explained the whole complicated process thoroughly so we knew what would happen each step of the way, she was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend not only Shelby but AHWC Immigration as a whole, you wont be sorry.

AHWC was so helpful in arranging my 820 and 801 Partner Visas, their professionalism in the process was exceptional taking all the pressure off what was a very involved process. I thoroughly recommend AHWC to anyone wanting visas and especially Amy and Clarisa for all the preparation involved in obtaining and processing for Home Affairs.

Kiri was absolutely amazing! I honestly can’t recommend her enough!! We processed my papers in June 2023 and my subclass 820 visa was granted today! It only took 2months! How incredible. Kiri made sure everything was in order throughout the whole process. She was so positive and reassuring. This girl knows what she’s doing!!

This review is LONG overdue, but our immi agent Su Jiang is the best. We had submitted all papers for 820 partner visa in November 2022 and were expecting an approval of a temporary visa. But we ended up with an approved PR within three months of document submission. We could hardly believe our eyes when we received the good news via email from her. Su Jiang, is always very prompt with her email responses, gives detailed guidance and was very very thorough in ensuring the documents were all good before submission. Most importantly she is very patient and was there at every step of the process. Thank you so much Si Jiang, we cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was on a very close deadline with my visa submission and the team at AHWC, particularly Amy and Mancy, couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. Would recommend for anyone needing visa application assistance.

I applied for the 820-partner visa with AHWC and I must say it was an excellent experience. Charisse, who assisted me with my application, was professional and patient throughout the process. I am very grateful for all the support she provided me.
