The Partner Visa allows the partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia.

Whether your partner is already settled in Australia or you’re engaged to be married soon, our registered consultants will guide you through every step — from proving your relationship to preparing the right documents.

This visa isn’t just about paperwork; it’s about helping start their lives together with confidence and peace of mind.

Types of Partner Visas for Australia

There are two main types of Partner Visas, depending on where you are when you apply – onshore and offshore.

Subclass 820/801 – Onshore Partner Visa

If you’re already in Australia, you can apply for this visa. It’s a two-stage process. First, you apply for 820 visa. This is a temporary visa which serves as a pathway for the second step – permanent visa(801).

Subclass 309/100 – Offshore Partner Visa

If you’re living outside Australia — for example, in India — you apply for 309 visa. After approval, You can move to Australia and live with your partner. Thereafter, you can then apply for the permanent visa — Subclass 100.

Subclass 300

This visa is different from a traditional partner visa. The prospective marriage visa is a temporary visa — specifically designed for couples who are engaged but not yet married. This visa allows you to travel to Australia and get married within nine months; then apply for the onshore Partner Visa.

Each visa has different requirements and timelines, but the end goal is the same — reuniting with your partner in Australia.

Before approving your visa, the Australian Department of Home Affairs looks closely at your relationship, living arrangements, and commitment to each other — not just your documents.

To qualify:

• The partners must be 18 or older.
• You must either be married (legally recognised as per Australian law) or be in a de facto relationship (at least for 12 months) before applying for the visa.
• Able to show that your relationship is genuine and ongoing — this includes proof that you live together (or have lived together) and share financial and social responsibilities.

Many applicants underestimate the kind of relationship evidence Australia requires — it’s not just wedding photos or chat screenshots. The Department often looks for joint finances, shared property or lease, travel records, and statements from friends or family confirming your relationship.

At Asia Pacific Group, we have a team of partner visa specialists for Australia to guide you on what proofs hold real value and how to present your relationship in a way that meets Australian immigration standards.

Documents Required for a Partner Visa

When presenting relationship proofs, your story, relationship dates, and supporting proofs should all align. Here’s what you’ll generally need:

• Valid passports of both partners
• Birth certificates or any other official ID
• Passport-sized photos as per Australian visa standards

• Marriage certificate or evidence of a de facto relationship
• Joint lease or property documents showing shared residence
• Shared financial records — joint bank accounts, bills, or insurance policies
• Communication records like call logs, emails, or photos together over time
• Statements from friends or relatives confirming your relationship

• Police clearance certificates from all countries you’ve lived in for over 12 months
• Health examination results from a panel-approved clinic

• Proof of any name change
• Divorce or separation papers (if previously married)
• Evidence of sponsorship — your partner must be an approved sponsor

If you’re applying from India, all your documents need to be translated to English. Only trust a certified translator with this. Blurred or incomplete uploads cause delays; each file you upload must be clear and readable.

A small mismatch in details can delay the process or trigger extra verification. That’s why our partner visa specialists for Australia check every document before submission to ensure it matches visa requirements and supports your case strongly.
