  • Searched the Relationship Visa section and the citizen charter for funds, accommodation, insurance or maintenance duties; none stated.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Relationship visa holders are not permitted to work without acquiring a Work Permit from the Department of Labour. The visa fee is charged per month, but the Department of Immigration's own pages give different amounts: the visa-information page gives a base fee of $5 per month, while the citizen charter gives USD 10 per month for a direct relation and USD 25 per month for a spouse's relatives. The official source does not state how long the status lasts or how it can become independent or longer-term.
