Australian Partner Visa - Subclass 820 and 801

Building your Future in Australia with your Partner Visa

Want to bring your partner to Australia?

Are you ready to build a life with your partner in Australia? The Australian Partner Visa (Subclass 820 and 801) allows you to live and work in Australia with your partner. The Subclass 820 is your temporary visa, which eventually leads to the Subclass 801 permanent visa. At Knowbal, we understand the significance of this step, and we’re here to ensure your visa application is successful.

Our expert team will guide you through every step, ensuring your application is complete and meets all requirements. Whether you’re applying for the temporary Subclass 820 or aiming for the permanent Subclass 801, we’ll support you through each stage of the process.

Partner Visa Overview

The Australian Partner Visa is designed for people who are in a genuine, committed relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. There are two main types of Partner Visas:

Subclass 820
(Temporary Partner Visa)

This is the first step of the two-stage process. It allows your partner to stay in Australia while their permanent partner visa (Subclass 801) is being processed. With this visa, they can live, work, and study in Australia with you.

Subclass 801 (Permanent Partner Visa)

2 years after holding the Subclass 820 visa, your partner can apply for the Subclass 801 visa, which grants permanent residency in Australia.

Bridging Visa

While your Partner Visa application is being processed, your partner may also be eligible for a Bridging Visa, which allows them to stay in Australia lawfully until their permanent visa is granted.

If you're ready to apply for the Subclass 820 or 801 Partner Visa,

Knowbal is here to help. Let us guide you through the process and ensure everything is in order for a smooth application.

Key Benefits of the Partner Visa

The Partner Visa offers several significant benefits.

Let’s have a look:

Live, Work, and Study in Australia

The Subclass 820 visa allows your partner to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia while waiting for their permanent Partner visa (Subclass 801).

Travel Freedom

Once granted, they can travel in and out of Australia as many times as they like while their permanent visa is being processed.

Free English Classes

If they’re eligible, they can attend free English language classes through the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP), helping them improve their language skills while they settle in.

Access to Medicare

They can also apply for Medicare, Australia’s public health care system, ensuring they receive medical benefits while in Australia.

Apply for Australian Citizenship

After holding their permanent Subclass 801 visa for a certain period, they may be eligible to apply for Australian Citizenship, granting them all the rights and privileges of a citizen.

Sponsor Eligible Family Members

With the Partner Visa, your partner is eligible to sponsor family members to join them in Australia, reuniting your loved ones under one roof.

These benefits make the Partner Visa an excellent option for those looking to build a life in Australia with their partner.

Eligibility Requirements and Documents

To apply for a Partner Visa, you must meet certain eligibility requirements.

Here’s what you need:

Be in Australia when you apply

To apply for the Subclass 820 and Subclass 801 Partner Visas, your partner needs to be in Australia at the time of application. However, if they’re currently outside of Australia, they can still apply for the Partner Visa by applying for the Subclass 309 (temporary) and Subclass 100 (permanent) visas instead.

Have a sponsor

The sponsor must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Be the right age

Your partner must be 18 years or older to apply for a Partner Visa. This applies whether you’re in a de facto relationship or are married. As per Australian law, the legal age for marriage is 18, and the same age requirement applies to those applying under the de facto relationship category.

Meet the relationship requirement

Your partner needs to prove that you’re in a genuine and ongoing relationship with the sponsor (you), which is one of the most important aspects of the application.

Meet health and character requirements

As part of your visa application, your partner will need to pass health checks and provide police certificates to prove they meet the character requirements set by Australian immigration.

Required Documents

  • Proof of your relationship (photos, communication, joint financial documents)
  • Health checks
  • Police certificates
  • Sponsor’s documents (proof of citizenship or residency)

If your partner meets these eligibility requirements, you’re one step closer to starting your life together in Australia. Let us help you navigate the process and ensure everything is in order for your Partner Visa application.
