820 visa questions!

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone can help me with a few questions regarding the 820 de facto partner visa.

My partner and I are in a de facto relationship but also got engaged in September. When filling out the online application, if you select that you're engaged it asks for a wedding date, however we do not have a date set. What do we do in this situation? Is it best to just put de facto and enter the start date of our relationship?

When asking for information on previous partners, it asks for any previous de facto/marriages. Does this definition of de facto require details of any partner you have lived with?

Many thanks in advance!

Yes, you have to include this. It was very weird when I had my ex's name/DOB etc on the same paperwork as my husband's visa.... haha

Some countries do not use the term "de facto" for a relationship, so may not understand what it actually is.

In Australia, a de facto relationship is the term for a relationship of a couple who live together in the same way that a married couple normally would, but who are not legally married to each other.

Some nationalities have marriages that are not legally recognised, and these could be classed as a de facto relationship also.

A de facto couple can also include same sex couples.

I was wondering if anyone knows the answer to the following questions:

1. I assume there isn't a way to upload videos to the application as the max size of files is 5mb. Is there any other way to send bigger files to the immigration? We have a few videos that are very good evidence (me vlogging about my day, voice recordings, singing happy birthday). Probably a silly question..

2. When they ask to list all the countries you visited and the dates, should you also mention countries where you had connecting flights? Or if you stayed in the country less than one day? (eg. Only entered the country (by car or plane) in order to catch a flight and stayed there for few hours only)

3. When they say 'Any other person on the application' do they refer to the applicant, sponsor and their dependents, or all family members named in the application?

PS: I am always unsure if I should continue an old thread or create a new one each time I have questions (because I have many :')). Do you know what is best/most convenient?

Thank you very much,

Daisy

They do not accept videos. THis is silly because more and more people are filming their life rather than taking pictures and videos are more difficult to fake but that's the way it is.

As per countries visited: at some point I lived in a country and worked in another so I crossed the border every day. I was travelling all around the EU at some point and cannot even remember all of these trips. I got away with writing a note explaining my trans-border work and saying "you can safely assume during the last ten years I have repeeatedly visited for short stays and for both leisure and work all of the EU members with the exception of Malta and Cyprus". I got the visa, so I guess that was enough.

You can always take still photos from a video reflecting key points or features of a wedding ceremony. For example, an Indian wedding ceremony consists of some key rituals and traditions. DoHA would be interested in such key highlights of a ceremony.

Thanks! :) I'm not sure what you mean by 'a selection and a full written list'. Do you mean uploading a list of all the places I've been to, separately?

Yes the thing is I also don't know if it was really on the same day every time because it takes approximately 4-7 hours to get to Belgrade from Hungary so probably few times we arrived after midnight the next day. I am assuming that for the majority of the time it was, though.
