Australian Partner Visa
Main Partner Visa pathways
Home Affairs describes Subclass 820 as the temporary onshore Partner Visa for an eligible spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. The Subclass 801 is the permanent stage.
For applicants applying from outside Australia, Subclass 309 is the provisional Partner Visa and is the first step toward the permanent Subclass 100 Partner Visa.
