Partner visa for Australia

Partner visa for Australia

The partner visa is intended for those whose partners are citizens or permanent residents of Australia, in order to provide them with a common life in Australia.

Offshore partner visa (subclasses 309/100) i Onshore partner visa (subclasses 820/801)

These are visas that are processed on two levels, so it is first necessary to apply for a temporary visa and if you get it, you will spend a period in Australia until you get the final answer if you have a permanent visa. Offshore and Onshore visas differ from where you apply, so if you are outside Australia you first apply for a temporary 309 visa, and if you are already in Australia you are applying for 820 visa. Later on, based on which was the first visa you received, you apply for permanent visa, subclass 100 or 801.

What allows a partner visa
