Partner Visas
Whether you are married or in a de facto relationship, planning ahead for your Partner visa is critical. Even if you have been married for several years, there are a number of other factors that immigration takes into consideration to assess the partner relationship. With no refunds available for your Visa Application Charge, it is important that you get your visa application right the first time!
The first decision to make is whether you will make an ONSHORE (subclass 820) or OFFSHORE (subclass 309) visa application. Applying onshore will entitle you to a bridging visa that allows you to stay in Australia whilst awaiting an outcome on your application.
Onshore - Apply from inside australia
Subclass 820 temporary

Getting this visa is the first step towards a permanent partner visa (Subclass 801).
You will be granted a bridging visa allowing you to remian in Australia whilst awaiting an outcome on your application.
Subclass 801 permanent
Allows the de-facto partner or spouse of an australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia permanently.
In some cases, this visa can be granted at the same time as the temporary visa.In most cases, it will be granted if the relationship still continues 2 years from the date of applying.
