Partner visa options consist of the onshore subclass 820 / 801 or the offshore subclass 309 / 100. In all cases the couple needs to demonstrate that their relationship is genuine, continuing, and mutually exclusive, and that they live together on a permanent basis (or do not live apart on a permanent basis).
- In some circumstances, applicants living outside Australia and engaged to an Australian Citizen / permanent resident can consider applying for a Prospective Marriage Visa subclass 300, which allows the holder to travel to Australia to get married.
Many applicants seek assistance with their partner visa application process. As every relationship is different and unique, it is important that an application clearly outlines your individual circumstances and is accompanied with sufficient supporting evidence.
