Common Questions
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, usually first on a temporary visa and then on a permanent residency visa.
The 820/801 partner visa is for applicants who apply while they are in Australia, while the 309/100 partner visa is for applicants who apply from overseas. Both are two-stage visas that can lead to permanent residency.
Partner visas are complex and can take many months or years to process. Timeframes vary depending on your relationship evidence, personal circumstances and Department of Home Affairs processing priorities.
You need to show that your relationship is genuine and ongoing with evidence such as joint finances, shared living arrangements, social proof of your relationship and statements from you and your partner.
If you apply for an onshore partner visa, you are usually granted a bridging visa that lets you stay in Australia lawfully and gives you work rights while your partner visa application is being assessed.
