Key Points

• The same-sex partnership has been recognised in Australia, and as the application is in the country, so has the jurisdiction of visa rules.
• Applicants need to provide evidence and documents to prove a de facto relationship.

'Trabaho, Visa, atbp.' is a podcast series that features issues and information about migration to Australia every Thursday on SBS Filipino.
