If you are in a married, de facto, or same-sex relationship with:

  • An Australian citizen,
  • An Australian Permanent Resident, or
  • An eligible New Zealand citizen,

you may be eligible to apply for a Partner Visa, opening the door to Australian Citizenship.

Partner Visa Australia

Partner Visa Types

The different types of partner visas are known by different ‘subclasses’. Each subclass has its own set of criteria that must be satisfied in order for it to be granted.

If you are outside Australia at the time of applying, you will need to make an application for a combined 309/100.

The Partner (Provisional) visa (subclass 309) is a temporary visa that allows you to live in Australia until your permanent Partner visa (subclass 100) application is accepted.

After two years, you can apply for a permanent Partner visa (subclass 100).

Who can apply?
Individuals in a genuine relationship with their Australian sponsor.

Basic Requirements:

  • Be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian sponsor.
  • Must be married or in a de facto or same-sex partnership. 
  • Pass health and character checks.
  • Sponsored by an eligible partner.

How we can assist you: 

When applying for a partner visa, a professional migration agent at Emerson Migration Law will prepare your application for both temporary and permanent visas.

  • Initially, you will receive a temporary partner visa (subclass 309), which will allow you to stay in Australia while the decision on your permanent visa (subclass 100) is pending.
  • Approximately two years after your initial application, if you are still with your spouse or de facto partner and meet all the requirements, you are likely to be granted a permanent visa.

If you are inside Australia at the time of applying, you will need to make an application combining both subclass 820 and 801.

Who can apply?

Overseas individuals in married couples, de facto or same-sex relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Basic Requirements:

  • Be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian sponsor.
  • Must be married or in a de facto or same-sex partnership. 
  • Pass health and character checks.
  • Sponsored by an eligible partner.

Benefits of the Partner Visa:

  • Stay in Australia indefinitely.
  • Work and study in Australia.
  • Travel in and out of Australia.
  • Enroll in Australia’s public healthcare scheme, Medicare.

This Visa type is for individuals intending to marry ( onshore or offshore) their Australian partner within 9 months of entering Australia.

This, however, is only a temporary visa, and the applicant will need to apply for a permanent partner visa once married.

Who can apply?

Those engaged to an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Basic Requirements:

  • Intention to marry within 9 months.
  • Genuine and ongoing relationship.
  • Sponsored by an eligible partner.
  • Meet health and character requirements.

Benefits:

  • Stay in Australia for 9 months.
  • Work and study in Australia during this time.
  • Apply for a permanent Partner visa in Australia after getting married.

Partner visa in 2 months! We used Emerson Migration for our Partner Visa. We had a few consultations with other companies before meeting with Aishwarya. She was by far the most professional, confident, "peace giving" and competent lawyer we spoke to (and a great price!). We also worked closely with Amelia who was our case manager. She was absolutely brilliant - super helpful with our questions and concerns and made the process very smooth. We thought the process could take up to 12 + months but it only took 2 months! We are super grateful for Aishwayra, Amelia and the Emerson team. Much love and thanks!

My partner started the process, and Covid shook our world. Thanks to the amazing support from EML, and the meticulous attention to detail, my partner is now a permanent resident of Australia. No way would I ever consider trying to do this process myself - get a professional, and make sure they are up to the task. EML definitely meets the requirements!!

I cannot recommend Emerson enough! I first contacted them in April 2022, but due to some life events, I was only able to submit my partner visa application in February 2023. Throughout that time, and post-application, I always felt supported and cared for. All my questions and concerns were answered, and they always made sure I felt comfortable to ask anything. I truly could not have gone through this experience without them, especially with the numerous stressful life events I have gone through this past year. A special thank you to Aishwarya, Grace and Ben - I am so happy I got you all on my team.

I needed to get a visa for my partner to come to Australia. I had done an application myself and the visa was declined. After working with Emerson Law we got the visa approved in one week. Emerson Law were very helpful and professional.
