BRINGING YOUR PARTNER TO AUSTRALIA: VISA PATHWAYS AND REQUIREMENTS

Are you looking to bring your partner to Australia and start a new chapter together? Whether you’re married, in a de facto relationship, or engaged, Australia offers several visa pathways that allow couples to reunite and build a future together.

Partner Visa Options in Australia

  1. Partner Visa (Subclasses 820/801 and 309/100)

This visa category is designed for individuals in a committed relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

  1. Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

If you are engaged and planning to marry an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, the Prospective Marriage Visa allows you to bring your partner to Australia to marry within 9 months of arrival. After marriage, the applicant can transition to a Partner Visa.

  1. Temporary Partner Visa

Applicants initially receive a temporary visa, allowing them to live, work, and study in Australia while their permanent visa application is processed.
