At a Glance

Australia’s partner visa pathways let an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen sponsor their spouse, de facto partner or fiancé(e) to live together in Australia. The main routes are onshore (820/801), offshore (309/100) and prospective marriage (300), providing a structured pathway to permanent residence.

Couples where the sponsor is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, and the relationship is genuine and continuing—married or de facto (often shown by around 12 months together or a registered relationship, noting rules vary by state). Applicants can be onshore or offshore, and fiancé(e) (subclass 300) is available for couples planning to marry. Dependent children can be included

We onboard you and confirm the right stream (onshore, offshore, or fiancé[e]). Then we work with you and your sponsor to build a strong relationship case—organising clear evidence across the key factors (financial, household, social, commitment), plus identity, health and character. We prepare your relationship statements, check consistency, lodge the application, and guide you through the key milestones until a decision.

If approved, you’ll receive a partner visa to live together in Australia with a pathway to permanent residence — onshore 820 → 801 or offshore 309 → 100. If applying as a fiancé(e), subclass 300 allows entry to marry, then we transition to the partner pathway. Any dependent children included in your application are granted the same visa (same stage/subclass) as the main applicant, so your family moves forward together.

For couples where the sponsor is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Partner (Offshore) — Subclass 309/100

Partner (Onshore) — Subclass 820/801

Apply inside Australia and remain together while your case is processed. This pathway progresses to permanent residence when eligible. Long term relationships get permanent residency upon grant.

Resident Return Visa (Subclass 155/157)

For engaged couples planning to marry. Travel to Australia to marry your Australian partner, then transition to the partner visa pathway (820/801 or 309/100).
