Partner Visa Options Explained

Australian partner migration operates under a staged framework. Selecting the wrong visa or applying at the wrong time is a commercial mistake that costs time and money. We prevent that.

Prospective Marriage Visa – Subclass 300 (Fiancé Visa)

The Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa is designed for couples who are engaged but not yet married.

Key features:

Sponsor must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen

Applicant must be outside Australia at time of grant

Visa validity: 9 months

Allows work, study, and travel

Pathway to Partner Visa (820/801 or 309/100) after marriage

You must be genuinely engaged, legally free to marry, and intend to marry before the visa expires. If circumstances change (including marriage before grant), strategy must pivot immediately. This is where most DIY applications fail.

We manage evidence across the five relationship factors:

  1. Financial interdependence

  2. Nature of the household

  3. Social recognition

  4. Commitment to each other

  5. Development of the relationship

Evidence typically includes financial records, joint living arrangements, communication logs, witness statements, wills, superannuation nominations, and statutory declarations. We curate, not dump, evidence.

Partner Visas – Onshore and Offshore

If you are married or in a qualifying de facto relationship, a Partner Visa may be available.

Onshore Partner Visa

  • Subclass 820 (Temporary)

  • Subclass 801 (Permanent)

Offshore Partner Visa

  • Subclass 309 (Temporary)

  • Subclass 100 (Permanent)

Most applications are lodged as a combined temporary and permanent application, with permanent residence assessed later. Timing, location, and eligibility are strategic decisions — not administrative ones.

If you apply onshore, you may be eligible for a Bridging Visa A, allowing you to remain lawfully in Australia with work rights and Medicare access while your application is processed. Travel requires careful planning; leaving Australia without the correct visa can collapse your application.

De Facto Relationships – High‑Risk Without Strategy

De facto partner visas are scrutinised aggressively. Cohabitation periods, separation gaps, cultural factors, and financial arrangements must be explained with precision. We assess viability early and advise whether exemptions apply.

If you are unsure whether your relationship meets the de facto definition, do not lodge blindly. Get advice first.

Evidence Strategy – What the Department Actually Looks For

The Department does not want volume; it wants credibility. We structure applications to tell a clear narrative supported by targeted evidence, including:

  • Joint finances and financial dependency

  • Shared household arrangements

  • Social recognition as a couple

  • Long‑term commitment indicators

  • Consistent timelines and declarations

This is where approvals are won or lost.
