Partner Visa 820

The temporary Partner visa (subclass 820) allows you to live in Australia if you are the spouse or de facto partner of:

• an Australian citizen
• an Australian permanent resident
• an eligible New Zealand citizen.

In some circumstances the visa can be granted where your partner relationship has ended.

This visa is the first stage towards a permanent Partner visa (subclass 801). You must be in Australia when you apply and when this visa is decided.

You lodge one application form for your temporary and permanent visas and pay one application charge. Your application is processed in two stages, about two years apart.

Partner Visa 309

The Partner (Provisional) visa (subclass 309) allows you to live in Australia if you are the spouse or de facto partner of:

• an Australian citizen
• a permanent resident
• an eligible New Zealand citizen.

The 309 Partner visa is the first stage towards a permanent Partner visa (subclass 100). You lodge only one application for both your temporary and permanent visas and pay one application charge. Your application is processed in two stages.

You must be outside Australia when you apply and also when the 309 Partner visa is granted. You can be in or outside Australia when Partner visa (subclass 100) is granted.

There are four types of child visa;

• Child visa (subclass 101)
• Child Onshore visa (Subclass 802)
