Partner Visa Process
Step 1: Eligibility Check
We assess your relationship status (married, de facto, or engaged) and ensure you meet the basic requirements for a Partner Visa.
Step 2: Document Preparation
Gather and prepare key evidence of your relationship, including financial, social, and household proof. Our team helps you organise everything correctly.
Step 3: Visa Application Lodegment
We lodge your Partner Visa application with the Department of Home Affairs, ensuring all requirements are met.
Step 4: Bridging Visa (if applying onshore)
If you are applying from within Australia, you may be granted a Bridging Visa that allows you to stay lawfully while your application is processed.
Step 5: Temporary Partner Visa Grant
Once approved, you’ll receive a temporary visa (Subclass 820/309), which allows you to live, work, and study in Australia.
Step 6: Permanent Partner Visa Grant
After meeting the time and relationship requirements, the permanent visa (Subclass 801/100) is granted, giving you full residency rights.
