Frequently Asked Questions
Determining the most suitable partner visa for you depends on your specific situation and relationship status.
Subclass 820/801 (Onshore): This visa is suitable if you are already in Australia and are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The subclass 820 is a temporary visa that allows you to stay in Australia while the subclass 801 is a permanent visa that can be applied for after a certain waiting period.
Subclass 309/100 (Offshore): This visa is suitable if you are outside Australia and are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The subclass 309 is a temporary visa that allows you to enter Australia, and after a certain waiting period, you can apply for the subclass 100 permanent visa.
Subclass 300 (Prospective Marriage Visa – PMV): The Subclass 300 visa is suitable for individuals who are engaged to be married to an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This visa allows you to enter Australia for the purpose of getting married within the visa validity period. After marriage, you can apply for a subsequent partner visa (subclass 820/801) to remain in Australia.
To determine the most suitable partner visa for you, it is recommended to consult with on of our registered migration agents. They will assess your specific circumstances, relationship evidence, and eligibility criteria to provide personalised advice and guidance on the best visa option for your situation.
Yes, same-sex couples are eligible to apply for the a partner visa. The Australian government recognises and supports same-sex relationships.
Yes, you can include your dependent children in your partner visa application. However, each child must meet certain requirements and there may be additional documentation needed for their inclusion.
Yes, the partner visa allows you to work in Australia. Once granted, you will have unrestricted work rights for the duration of the visa.
The processing time for a partner visa can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case and the workload of the Department of Home Affairs.
However, Migration Unity can assist you with preparing a ‘decision-ready’ application that may streamline the decision making process.
The Schedule 3 criteria come into play when an applicant does not meet the standard requirements for the 820 partner visa. These criteria provide an opportunity for consideration of the visa application on compelling and compassionate grounds. To be considered under Schedule 3, the applicant must meet certain requirements, including having their previous visa ceased or not holding a substantive visa at the time of application, demonstrating compelling and compassionate circumstances affecting their eligibility, and showing that significant hardship would be faced by either the applicant or their sponsor if the visa were not granted.
The Subclass 309 visa (Offshore Partner Visa) is specifically designed for individuals who are outside Australia and are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. It allows you to enter Australia and live with your partner as a temporary resident. After a certain waiting period, you can apply for the Subclass 100 visa, which grants you permanent residency in Australia.
However, you must be outside of Australia when this visa is lodged and decided. We often bring applicants inside of Australia first and then consider an onshore partner visa instead which allows the applicant to obtain a bridging visa to remain here whilst the application is being processed.
Yes, under certain circumstances, it is possible to have the 820 and 801 partner visas processed at the same time. If you have been in a long-term relationship with your Australian partner or spouse for at least three years, or if you have been in a relationship for at least two years and have a dependent child from the relationship, you may be eligible for concurrent processing of the 820 and 801 visas.
This means that you can lodge both the 820 and 801 visa applications together, and they will be assessed simultaneously. The Department of Home Affairs will conduct a combined assessment of your eligibility for both visas based on the evidence provided to establish the genuine nature and ongoing nature of your relationship.
If the application is successful, you will be granted the temporary 820 partner visa and the permanent 801 partner visa at the same time. This allows you to have immediate access to permanent residency in Australia without the need to wait for the temporary visa to be granted first.
It is important to note that the eligibility criteria and requirements for concurrent processing of the 820 and 801 visas can vary, and it is advisable to consult with a registered migration agent or the Department of Home Affairs for personalised advice and accurate information based on your specific circumstances.
