The Australian Department of Immigration has confirmed that the definition of 'long-term partner relationship' will be amended, effective from 27 March 2010.
This will replace the minimum spouse or de facto partner relationship period required to qualify for either the Partner (Migrant) (Class BC) or Partner (Residence) (Class BS) visa, from 5 years to 3 years.
This is for those who can show they are in a committed long term relationship.
The 12 months period of cohabitation for defacto spouse visas (i.e. the provisional 2year visa) has not been affected.
