What is the Subclass 309/100  – Partner Visa?

  • The Partner visa is for couples that are:
    • (a) living together and have been living together for over 12 months; or are
    • (b) married.
  • This is a provisional permanent visa that has two steps:
    • 1. Apply for the Subclass 309 visa, a temporary residency visa that will allow you to enter and remain onshore to live with your significant other until you can –
    • 2. Apply for the Subclass 100 visa, a permanent residency visa that you can be considered for either:
      • 24 months after lodging your Subclass 309 visa (if you have been granted your Subclass 309) or
      • Once you are granted your Subclass 309 visa (if above the 24 month period).
  • These visas enable you to live in Australia for the purpose of being with your partner.

Eligibility Criteria:

 

  • You are in a 12 month+ de facto relationship or you are married to an Australian permanent resident or citizen;
  • You can demonstrate that you have met, know and have an established relationship with your prospective spouse;
  • You are eighteen or older.

 

  • You meet health and character requirements.

Considerations:

  • You must be offshore when applying for this visa.
  • You must be offshore when a decision is being made on your application.
  • You may be able to visit your onshore partner during the processing of this visa, on a Visitor visa.
  • This visa grants you full working rights.
  • This visa grants you full study rights.
  • This visa grants you multiple travel facilities – that is, you can arrive and depart Australia on this visa.
  • Your children can also apply for this visa if you intend for them to migrate with you.

This visa has a global processing time, which can be found here. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times
