In this week’s episode of our Weekly Q&A one participant asked Can a same-sex couple get a partner visa from Philippines to Australia?
The exact question was:
Is it possible for a same-sex couple (ie a gay couple) to get a partner visa?We are a same-sex couple. I’m from Philippines and my boyfriend is Australian. How difficult would it be to get a partner visa to Australia so we can be together?
Hi Jeff/team,
Very slack our end, been pretty busy as we all are. Just watched this video/post and it took me/us back many years, through the trials and tribulations involved with applying for a de facto partnership visa, successful it was as you are aware, and some 8 or 9 months ago Bengie received his permanent residency in Australia. Both very happy and contributing to the tax system here. Retirement beckons in a few years and yes it will be northern Luzon, Bengie will maintain his Australian residency every 5 years naturally, all is sweet thanks to you and your team with your guidance and the occasional slap as needed.
Cheers, Steve and Bengie.
Nice to hear from you, Steve. Glad to hear everything is good and you’re both happy. All the best to you both.
