Overview

What are Partner Visas?

Partner Visas allow eligible Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their genuine partner to live in Australia.

Depending on where the application is lodged, eligible partners may apply for the Subclass 309 (offshore) or Subclass 820 (onshore) visa, with a pathway to the corresponding permanent partner visa.
