Hi all,
I've see this question asked a few times however there seems to be a lot of different responses on the subject.
I have recently been holidaying out in Australia for the past 6 months and just 3 months ago met my girlfriend who is currently out here on a 457 visa as a nurse. We have no proof of living together or legal documents linking the only thing we do have is bookings on a Holiday together a month back.
My visa is due to expire on Aug 7th however we would like to continue our relationship and was looking into different routes of allowing me to stay.
Am I eligible to go onto her 457 visa? Any help would be much appreciated.
A few things i've read but unsure about and not sure if they are true or not can i get confirmation?

- Her company will need to write a letter stating they are happy for me to be added on her sponsorship
- If we register our relationship this will void the 12 months needed to be together as a defacto
- Going onto your partners 457 visa does not require you to be together for 12 months?
