Visas can be an unwelcome, overwhelming necessity when you
fall in love with someone from another country. This was the case
for Australian Emma O’Neill-Sandham and her English partner Rich,
when they decided they wanted to move from the UK to continue their
life together back in Australia.
Emma wrote about the intricate and intrusive process of
applying for an Australian Partner Visa in a magazine piece
entitled ‘The
(Statutory) Declaration of Love’.
In this episode, Emma’s going to talk through the difficulty
of needing to legally prove and define your love for a visa, and
she’s also going to offer some advice to other couples looking to
do the same thing.
