Frequently asked questions
Can my partner apply if they're overseas?

Your partner gets a TSS visa with unrestricted work rights — they can work in any occupation, for any employer, with no hourly limits.
When does my partner's visa expire?
Your partner's TSS visa expires on the same date as your primary TSS visa.
