The Australian Partner Visa is a program that aims to reunite partners and spouses of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This program allows couples to live together and build their lives in Australia.

Here are the key features of the Australian Partner Visa:

  • Two-Step Process: The Partner Visa application process has two stages. First, you apply for a temporary visa, and after a designated waiting period, you can then apply for a permanent visa.
  • Eligible Partners: This visa is available to married and de facto partners, including same-sex couples, who can provide evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship.
  • Sponsorship: An Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen must sponsor the applicant and provide financial and other support.
  • Temporary Visa (Subclass 820/309): The initial temporary visa allows you to live, work, and study in Australia with your partner. It typically lasts for two years from the date of application.
  • Permanent Visa (Subclass 801/100): After the waiting period, if your relationship continues to meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for a permanent visa, granting you indefinite residence in Australia.
  • Evidence of Relationship: Applicants must provide substantial evidence of their genuine and ongoing relationship, including proof of cohabitation, joint financial responsibilities, and social aspects of their relationship and much more.
  • Health and Character Checks: All applicants are required to undergo health and character assessments.
