Partner Visa for Australia (Subclasses 820 and 801)
The Partner Visa for Australia (subclasses 820 and 801) allows individuals who are the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live together in Australia. This visa enables you to stay with your partner while your permanent visa application is being processed.
The Partner Visa is granted in two stages: first, the temporary Partner Visa (subclass 820) is issued, allowing you to live in Australia while the permanent Partner Visa (subclass 801) is processed.
Key Highlights:
- Partner Provisional Visa (Subclass 309/100): This visa is for individuals who are the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The applicant must be outside Australia at the time of the application submission.
- Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300): If you are planning to marry your Australian partner, this temporary visa allows you to enter Australia to marry within nine months. You must be outside Australia when applying and receiving the visa.
- Partner Temporary/Permanent Visa (Subclass 820/801): The subclass 820 and 801 visas are for partners who are either married or in a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The applicant must be in Australia when applying for this visa.
