Go to http://www.workpermit.com The site has an online test where you can access your chances of being admitted. You will discover that your chances are somewhere between minuscule and zero. Having made that discovery you abandon the idea. Ian M

Assuming you have a Partner who is an Australian citizen or PR, most of the checks are to determine if your relationship is 'genuine and continuing' and not a sham entered into just to get a visa for you. If that's what you have in mind, forget it! You'll need all kinds of documentation regarding the length and nature of your relationship - see pages 38/39 of the Partner Migration booklet for examples of the type of evidence you'll need to provide. The rest of the process and requirements are fully explained elsewhere in the booklet. At the interviews (they interview both of you - separately), you'll both be asked questions that you would only know the answers to if you are a genuine couple. They might ask the colour of your partner's toothbrush; what side of the bed they sleep on; the type of books they read; how you get on with their family; what you did on your first date; their favourite food - it could be anything at all. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1127.pdf Partner Migration booklet. http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/partners/partner/309-100/ Offshore Partner visa. Apart from relationship evidence, you'll also need a medical and you'll have to supply police checks from any country you've lived in for 12 months or more over the last 10 years since turning 16. If you supply your medicals and PCCs when you lodge your visa application and if everything is in order, you should get a decision within a couple of months and perhaps even faster - very strong and well documented Partner visa applications sometimes take only a week or so. That workpermit site is useless, inaccurate and misleading. You should trust only the official government immigration site.
