VISA Streams & Durations:
The partner visa program offers different subclasses, each with its own duration and pathway to permanent residency in Australia. The available partner visas include:
Subclass 820: The subclass 820 visa allows you to live in Australia temporarily while your permanent partner visa (subclass 801) application is being processed. It typically grants a temporary stay for up to two years. During this period, you can work and study in Australia and access Medicare benefits. Once the subclass 801 visa is granted, you become eligible for permanent residency.
Subclass 801: The subclass 801 visa provides permanent residency in Australia and allows you to live and work in the country indefinitely. It is the permanent stage of the partner visa and is granted once the subclass 820 visa application is approved. With this visa, you can enjoy the rights and privileges of an Australian permanent resident, including access to healthcare, education, and social security.
Subclass 309: If you are applying from outside Australia, the subclass 309 visa is designed for you. It grants a temporary stay while your permanent partner visa (subclass 100) application is being processed. The subclass 309 visa allows you to enter and remain in Australia with your partner for a temporary period until a decision is made on your permanent visa application.
Subclass 100: The subclass 100 visa is the permanent partner visa that allows you to live and work in Australia indefinitely. It is granted once the subclass 309 visa application is approved. With the subclass 100 visa, you can enjoy the benefits of permanent residency, including access to healthcare, education, and social security.
