Partner Visas


Subclass 820 / 801 (Onshore Partner Visa)
The Subclass 820 (temporary) visa allows the partner or spouse of an Australian citizen,
permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to remain in Australia while their permanent
visa is processed.
The Subclass 801 (permanent) visa is granted at the second stage, usually after two years, once the
relationship is assessed as ongoing and genuine.
