An Australian Partner Visa allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia. The visa application process can be complex, but understanding the basics can help you get started.

Types of Australian Partner Visas

1. Partner (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 820) and Partner (Permanent) Visa (Subclass 801)
   • For applicants applying onshore while they are in Australia.
   • The Subclass 820 is granted first as a temporary visa, with the Subclass 801 being the permanent visa granted after meeting eligibility requirements.
2. Partner (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 309) and Partner (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 100)
   • For applicants applying from outside Australia.
   • The Subclass 309 is granted first as a provisional visa, with the Subclass 100 being the permanent visa granted after meeting eligibility requirements.
3. Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)
   • For fiancés of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens who plan to marry within 9 months of the visa being granted.

Key Requirements and Process

• Proof of Genuine Relationship: Applicants must provide evidence demonstrating their relationship is genuine and ongoing.
• Sponsorship: The Australian partner must agree to sponsor the visa applicant.
• Health and Character Checks: Medical exams and police checks are required.
