We're considering the DTV or education visa. Or tourist re entry and would love some advice.

My partner works remotely as well as in person in Australia

We have a 2.5yo and I don't "work".

Together 15 years but not married.

We have a 12 month lease, have brought a car and bike, have a tm30 and letter from immigration proving our residence (needed it to buy the car in our name)

A couple of questions:

- For sponsorship is defacto relationships considered or need to be married?

- if he will be flying too and from australia every month or so for work will tourist re-entry suffice or is that limited to number of times per year

- will coming too and from be an issue if he does receive the dtv visa?

We have someone in thailand helping us recommending education visa for myself and my daughter and dtv for him but would love others experiences.

Thank you 🫶
