Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801)

What visa offers you?

​

• Live in Australia: Stay temporarily on the Subclass 820 visa and transition to permanent residency with the Subclass 801 visa.

• Work and Study: Enjoy full work rights and access to education opportunities while living in Australia.

• Healthcare Access: Gain access to Australia’s Medicare system for health services.

• Pathway to Permanent Residency: Build your future in Australia with the Subclass 801 visa.

 

To apply, you must:

​

• Be sponsored by your Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen partner.

• Prove you are in a genuine and ongoing relationship, either married or in a de facto partnership.

• Meet health and character requirements.

• Submit evidence of your relationship, including financial, social, and household aspects, as well as proof of mutual commitment.

 

Application Process

​

1. Temporary Partner Visa (Subclass 820): This visa allows you to stay in Australia while your application for the permanent visa is processed.

2. Permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 801): When applying for a partner visa, you lodge both the Subclass 820 (Temporary Partner Visa) and Subclass 801 (Permanent Partner Visa) applications at the same time. However, in most cases, the Subclass 801 visa is only processed after the Subclass 820 visa is granted.

​

To be eligible for the Subclass 801 visa, you must demonstrate that your relationship with your partner is genuine, ongoing, and meets all requirements at the time of assessment. This may include providing updated evidence of your relationship to support your case.

In some cases, the two-year waiting period may be waived if you have been in a long-term relationship or have dependent children.

 

How Can I Help?

I understand that every relationship and migration journey is unique, and I am here to help you navigate the complexities of the partner visa process. If you are facing special circumstances, I specialize in handling cases that require waivers.

• Unlawful Status: If you are in Australia unlawfully and wish to apply for a partner visa, I can help you secure a waiver to ensure your application is considered.

• Visa Refusal or Cancellation: If you have had a visa refused or canceled and are now facing restrictions like a Section 48 bar, I can assist in crafting a strong case to seek a waiver for these barriers.

• Character or Health Issues: If you are banned due to certain reasons like health or character concerns, I have experience in securing waivers by presenting compelling evidence and arguments to the Department.
