Australian partner visas allow spouses or de facto partners of Australian citizens,
permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia. These visas
are divided into two stages:

  1. Temporary Partner Visa (Subclass 820 for onshore, Subclass 309 for
    offshore):
    ◦ Grants temporary residency while awaiting the decision on a permanent
    visa.
    ◦ Applicants must prove a genuine and ongoing relationship.
  2. Permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 801 for onshore, Subclass 100 for
    offshore):
    ◦ Granted after at least two years if the relationship remains genuine.
    ◦ Provides permanent residency with full work, study, and healthcare
    rights.
    Eligibility requires demonstrating a committed relationship, meeting health and
    character requirements, and providing supporting evidence like shared finances
    living arrangements, and social recognition. The process involves a two-step pathway
    where applicants first receive a temporary visa before transitioning to permanen
    residency.
