Every rulebook is different. We know all five.

Sponsor income thresholds, relationship evidence standards, and processing times vary significantly by country. Here's what each route involves.

Relationship types we handle

Every country recognises slightly different relationship categories. We confirm exactly which applies to you before we start your file.

Married

Legally married spouses

A registered marriage certificate is the baseline document, but immigration authorities look far beyond the certificate to genuine, ongoing relationship evidence.

Common-law / De facto

Unmarried long-term partners

Canada, Australia and New Zealand all recognise common-law or de facto partnerships, typically requiring proof of cohabitation for 12 months or more.

Dependents

Dependent children

Children under a country's dependent age limit can usually be included on or added to a parent's application, including for students on visas like Australia's Subclass 500.

Common questions about spouse & dependent visas

What's the difference between a spouse visa and a dependent visa? +

A spouse visa is for a married or de facto/common-law partner of the sponsor. A dependent visa is for children (and sometimes other dependents) who are included on or added to a family member's visa application.

Which countries do you handle spouse visas for? +

We handle spouse and dependent visa applications for Canada, Australia, the UK, New Zealand, and the USA — each with its own income rules, evidence standards, and processing timelines.

What counts as genuine relationship evidence? +

Immigration authorities look for evidence of a shared life — joint finances, joint accommodation, photographs over time, travel together, and communication records — not just a marriage certificate.

Can a student include a spouse or dependent on their study visa? +

In several countries, yes — for example, dependents can be added to an Australia Subclass 500 student visa. Rules and eligibility vary by country and by the primary visa holder's circumstances.

How do I extend my current spouse visa? +

We recommend starting the extension process 2–3 months before your current visa expires. We review your updated relationship evidence and sponsor documents and manage the full renewal application for you.
