Partner Visa
When you are in love and in a relationship with an Australian Citizen/Permanent Resident you can apply for a visa based on your relationship. This is commonly known as a partner visa and there are 3 different categories. The one you apply for will depend on your individual circumstances. If you are in love and don’t want to be apart and want to be together in Australia, you do have one of three options:
Prospective Marriage Visa Subclass 300
when applying from outside Australia. The subclass 300 visa is suitable when you are engaged to an Australian citizen, they have permanent residence or an eligible New Zealand citizen and you are living outside of Australia.
Partner Visa Subclass 820/801
for applicants who are in Australia at the time of lodgement. Apply for the subclass 820/801 partner visa when you are already living in Australia. You must hold a valid substantive visa and either be in a married or a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen. There are also ways to apply for this visa if you have a bridging visa.
Partner Visa Subclass 309/100
for applicants who are not in Australia at the time of lodgement. The subclass 309/100 visas are the same as the same as the subclass 820/801 visas except you have to be living outside of Australia at the time of applying
