Partner Visa

The Australian Partner Visa program allows individuals who are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live and work in Australia. The program includes several visa subclasses that cater to different types of relationships and circumstances.

The main subclasses are:

1. Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801): This is a two-stage visa application process. The Subclass 820 is a temporary visa that allows you to live in Australia while the permanent Subclass 801 visa is being processed. These visas are for partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.
2. Partner Visa (Subclass 309/100): Like the 820/801 subclass, this is a two-stage application process. The Subclass 309 is a temporary visa that allows you to live in Australia while the permanent Subclass 100 visa is being processed. These visas are for partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens who are applying from outside Australia.
3. Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300): This visa is for individuals who are engaged to be married to an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. Once married, you can then apply for a partner visa (820/801 or 309/100) within the specified timeframe.
