Partner Migration

Overview

We provide assistance with all visa subclasses for partners and spouses including Prospective Marriage Visas, Spouse Visas, and De Facto Partner Visas.

Our team strives to offer you complete peace of mind during the visa application process, so that you can be confident in the quality of the application, and begin planning your life together in Australia. Our role is to keep families together, so our services include suggesting strategies to reunite any couples living apart, and working efficiently to secure the visa as quickly as possible.

The Subclass 820/801 Onshore Partner Visa
The Subclass 309/100 Offshore Partner Visa
Subclass 300 (Temporary Residence) - Prospective Marriage Visa

The Subclass 820/801 Onshore Partner Visa

This visa is available to those who are married to, or in a de facto relationship with, an Australian Permanent Resident or Citizen, or eligible NZ Citizen. An applicant for this visa must be in Australia.

The initial stage, the subclass 820, requires that you have been in a de facto relationship with your partner for 12 months, be married, or have registered your relationship with a relevant State/Territory authority.

Two years from the date of application for the subclass 820 visa, the applicant is invited to submit evidence that the relationship is continuing, to allow DIBP to process the permanent stage, the Subclass 801 visa.

An applicant is entitled to Medicare access, work rights, and study rights, upon grant of the temporary 820 visa.

The Subclass 309/100 Offshore Partner Visa

The visa costs from AUD620 for the main applicant, unless they are exempt.

There is also a charge for each family member who applies for the visa.

You might also have to pay other costs for health checks, police certificates and biometrics.

To work out what your visa will cost use the Visa Pricing Estimator. The estimator does not take into account the other costs.

Subclass 300 (Temporary Residence) - Prospective Marriage Visa

This visa is available to those who are engaged to be married to an Australian Permanent Resident or Citizen, or an eligible New Zealand Citizen. This pathway is for applicants who are outside of Australia. Once granted, the subclass 309 visa allows the holder to enter Australia and marry their Australian partner within a nine-month period.

Prior to the end of this nine-month period, applicants can apply for an onshore Subclass 820/801 visa as outlined above.

This visa allows holders to access work and study rights.

Who can apply for a partner visa?

Details

If you are in a relationship with an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, you may be eligible for a grant of a partner visa on the basis of their sponsorship.

You may be eligible for a partner visa if you and your partner:
• Are married
• Are engaged to be married
• Are in a de facto relationship
• Have registered your relationship with a relevant State/Territory authority

How do I qualify for a partner visa?

Details

There are three pathways through which partners of Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents can obtain a visa for Australia.

The most suitable visa option will depend on your individual circumstances, including whether the person applying for the visa is inside or outside Australia at the time of application.

Your TSS adviser can help you select the option best suited to your requirements, and formulate a strategy which allows you and your partner to feel secure in the knowledge that the migration process will be as stress-free as possible.

How do I apply for a partner visa?

Details

Partner visas require an application to be made by both the applicant and the sponsor. All of the above visa options will require evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing. To satisfy the Department of Immigration that this is the case, you should be able to provide evidence that addresses the following:
• Cohabitation
• Financial interdependence
• Social interdependence
• The nature of your ongoing commitment to one another
As all couples are different, Edunetwork will assist you in compiling the most relevant evidence of your individual relationship.

Process of the application

We offer a wide spectrum of migration services for both onshore and offshore applications seeking Temporary or Permanent residency in Australia.
