What is an Australian Partner or Prospective Marriage Visa?
Partner and Prospective Marriage visas are designed for couples seeking to reunite and build their lives together in Australia. These visas cover married, de facto and engaged partners of Australian citizens or permanent residents. Each subclass carries specific requirements and procedures. With extensive migration experience, Nguyen Do Lawyers assists clients in preparing evidence of their relationship and navigating the application process to maximise the prospects of success.

What types of partner visas are there?

• Subclass 820/801 (Onshore Partner visa): For applicants already in Australia, granting temporary residence (820) followed by permanent residency (801).
• Subclass 309/100 (Offshore Partner visa): For applicants outside Australia, also processed in two stages: temporary (309) and permanent (100).
• Subclass 300 (Prospective Marriage visa): For those engaged to an Australian citizen or permanent resident, allowing entry into Australia to marry within the visa period.
