Does my partner get a work visa if I have an AEWV?
Not automatically — partners of AEWV holders can generally apply for their own open work visa only if the primary visa holder's role meets specific skill and pay thresholds, which surprises people who assume it applies to every AEWV.
Key points
- Partner work rights depend on the primary AEWV role's skill level and pay.
- Not every AEWV automatically qualifies a partner for open work rights.
- Confirm your specific role's classification before assuming partner eligibility.
- Dependent children's study access is generally tied to the primary applicant's status.
