De facto requirement under the Subclass 186 (TRT) visa

When applying for the Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186 – Temporary Residence Transition stream), a common question relates to de facto relationships and the 12-month requirement.

The requirement to demonstrate at least 12 months in a de facto relationship may not apply where the relationship is officially registered under Australian law.

However, applicants must still meet the definition of a de facto partner and satisfy all other relevant criteria.

Eligibility will always depend on the specific circumstances of each case.
