Onshore and offshore
We advise on both the onshore (820/801) and offshore (309/100) partner visa pathways depending on your circumstances.
Partner Visa (subclass 820/801 & 309/100)
Stay close to the person you love, in Australia.
Australia's partner visa program allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia. We help you build a complete, well-evidenced application.
Genuine relationships
A visa built on your relationship
Partner visas are assessed carefully. The Department looks for genuine evidence of a shared life together. We help you understand what evidence is needed, how to present it clearly, and what to expect at each stage of the process.
Evidence preparation
We help you compile and present the right categories of evidence to demonstrate your genuine relationship.
Pathway to permanence
Most partner visas are granted in two stages, leading to a permanent visa after a period of time.
Two-stage process
Understanding the two-stage process
Stage 1
Temporary stage
The first stage grants you the right to live and work in Australia while your permanent visa is assessed. This stage is typically granted shortly after lodgement.
Stage 2
Permanent stage
After a waiting period (usually two years from lodgement), the permanent stage is assessed. You must still be in a genuine relationship at this point.
