Eligibility

Confirm the resident’s visa category and whether your relationship qualifies. Prepare the sponsor letter and accepted marriage, birth, or adoption records, together with the required identity, police, and medical documents.

The main visa page currently directs long-term applicants to paper submission, even though some category pages display online buttons. Check the current submission instructions with Immigration.
