    Hi all

    Have been thinking about making the move to Oz. Worked there previously in construction and given the state of things here was going to apply for some of the many jobs going.

    However I'm not married and was wondering would my partner of 14 years be covered on my visa?

    Thanks in advance

    What visa are you going for? Your partner would be able to go defacto and your visa no problem..after 14 years you should have enough evidence for this. whats your qualifications?

    Thanks for the reply A

    From memory the jobs I've been looking at mention a 457 Visa. I was thinking of working in the mining or construction sectors as I'm a contracts administrator / claims consultant. If we go thought it would be to stay so I'd be looking to acquire residency after time.

    IF you were able to get a 457 visa then she could be included as a de facto partner.
    However, thats IF you can get one. It's not a case of simply asking for one as it is with working holiday visas.
