Partner Visa Pathways

Which Partner Visa Is Right for You?

The right pathway depends on where you are, your relationship status, and how long you've been together. We'll help you choose the correct subclass from the start.

ONSHORE

Subclass 820 → 801

For applicants already in Australia when applying, married or in a genuine de facto relationship.

  • Bridging Visa A while you wait
  • Combined temporary & permanent application
  • 801 assessed ~2 years after 820
OFFSHORE

Subclass 309 → 100

For applicants outside Australia at the time of lodging — equivalent pathway to the 820/801.

  • Lodged while overseas
  • 100 assessed ~2 years after 309
  • Leads to permanent residency
ENGAGED

Subclass 300

The Prospective Marriage Visa — for couples who are engaged but not yet married or living together 12 months.

  • 9 months to marry in Australia
  • Leads into onshore 820/801
  • Ideal for shorter relationships

Eligibility

Do You Qualify for a Partner Visa?

Every case is different, but most successful Partner Visa applications share these foundations. We review your situation before you spend a cent on the application.

2026 update: Applications are assessed with stricter verification — a marriage certificate alone is not enough. Strong, consistent evidence matters more than ever.
  • Legally married, or in a genuine de facto relationship (generally 12+ months)
  • The 12-month rule is waived if your relationship is registered, or you have a child together
  • Your sponsor is an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible NZ citizen
  • Both partners are 18 years or older
  • Clear financial, household, social and commitment evidence of the relationship
  • Health and character requirements met by all applicants
