Relationship photo evidence
Published · Last updated
KinVisa’s relationship photo evidence PDF organises the photographs a user selects into sections, with the dates, locations, captions and people labels that the user enters. The resulting document is available for the user to review and decide how to use.
It is KinVisa’s document format, not an Australian or New Zealand government template and not a recommendation about which photographs or information to submit.
The KinVisa example below illustrates photos of the couple:
- spending time together over different periods of the relationship
- travelling or taking holidays together
- attending birthdays, weddings and other celebrations
- spending time with each other’s friends and family
- participating in shared social or cultural activities
- sharing ordinary aspects of everyday life
The example uses short user-entered details such as the date, location, occasion and names of other people shown.
Official sources
What do Australian and New Zealand immigration authorities ask for?
The Australian Department of Home Affairs and Immigration New Zealand publish guidance on the relationship evidence applicants may be asked to submit. Below are the relevant passages, with a link to each official source.
Social aspects of the relationship
The Australian Department of Home Affairs lists the social aspects of a relationship as one type of relationship evidence. Its examples include:
- joint invitations or evidence that the couple went out together
- proof that the couple had friends in common
- proof of joint sporting, cultural or social activities
- proof that the couple travelled together
Partnership evidence and photos with dates
Immigration New Zealand lists evidence that can show a genuine and stable relationship, including that the couple spends leisure time together and that other people recognise the relationship. Its Partnership Timeline and Evidence Checklist includes:
- social media posts or photos of the applicant and their partner
- dates for those posts or photos
- evidence showing that they spend leisure time together or are seen by other people as a couple
- instructions to upload one PDF per evidence category
- instructions to combine multiple pieces of evidence into one file when they belong to the same category
KinVisa does not use a government template. It organises the photographs selected by the user into KinVisa’s own consistent document format.
By visa type
Visa-specific official relationship-evidence references
The related reference page lists Australian and New Zealand visa types whose official pages mention relationship or partnership evidence. Each entry links to the relevant government page.
KinVisa does not determine what an application requires or whether photographs should be submitted. Check the linked official page for current information about the visa.
Example of a KinVisa relationship photo document

How KinVisa organises photographs
You choose the photographs
KinVisa works with the photographs you select. It does not choose them for you, and it does not judge which ones to include.
Groups them into sections
You decide what each section covers: a holiday, a wedding, family and friends, a whole year or anything else. Its photographs are kept together.
Records the details you enter
Dates, locations, occasions and the names of the people shown are attached to each section and photograph.
Arranges and exports
Sections are placed in the order you choose, or by date, and exported as a single PDF you can review before submitting anything.
