SPOUSE/PARTNER VISA (Partner Temporary Visa)

Australian spouse/partner visas are for those applicants from overseas who are marrying an Australian Citizen or Australian Permanent Resident. They may also be granted to those who are living in a defacto (or “live-in”) relationship with an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident. This is the visa-of-choice for those who wish to (a) marry overseas and then apply for the visa, (b) marry in Australia (if you are already in Australia) and then apply for the visa, or (c) if you have been living together either in Australia or overseas for a substantial time and wish to apply on this basis. Same-sex couples may also apply.

If you intend to marry overseas, you may apply for a spouse visa already, and have it finalised after you actually marry. This may save you some application time. But do not expect that the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) will quickly issue a partner visa as soon as you produce a marriage certificate. Do not count on trying to bring your wife straight back to Australia with you. The Department works to its own timeframe, and not to yours.

You will be applying for a Subclass 309 temporary partner visa (or a Subclass 820 temporary partner visa if in Australia).

If you are still together (and can prove this) after 2 years, you may be granted a Subclass 100 PERMANENT partner visa (or Subclass 801 PERMANENT partner visa if you applied whilst in Australia). Please note that you apply for the 309/100 (or 820/801) at the same time.

If you have a long-term relationship, or a child of the relationship, you may in some circumstances bypass the temporary visa period.
