| - Description: | These Regulations amend the Migration Regulations 1994 to allow certain partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens, who are otherwise not authorised to make a further application under section 48 of the Migration Act 1958 because they have had a visa cancelled or visa application refused, to apply for a partner visa, provided they meet specified objective criteria. This would allow these partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to remain in Australia while making an application for a partner visa. |
