Spousal/Dependant Employment Permits may issue for jobs with as few as 10 hours per week. Spouses, recognised partners and eligible dependent (unmarried) children, who have been admitted to the State as family members of holders of Green Card employment permits or who have been admitted as family members of Researchers on Hosting Agreements are eligible to apply for Spousal Permits.
