Partner Visa Options
Below are the main Partner and Spouse Visa pathways we assist with. Each has specific eligibility requirements depending on your location and relationship stage.
Partner (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 309) & Partner (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 100)
For couples applying from outside Australia.
The 309 visa is granted first (temporary), followed by the 100 visa for permanent residency once eligibility is met.
Partner (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 820) & Partner (Permanent) Visa (Subclass 801)
For couples applying within Australia.
The 820 visa allows you to stay while your 801 permanent visa is processed, offering a clear two-stage pathway to residency.
Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)
Designed for fiancés of Australian citizens or permanent residents, this visa lets you come to Australia to marry your partner and later apply for a Partner Visa.
