The subclass 820 partner visa is an onshore partner visa application for couples who are in a de facto or married relationship.
This means an applicant need to already be in Australia with their Australian visa partner when the visa is lodged.
To meet the partner visa Australia requirements for the subclass 820 partner visa, a migrant must be in a genuine and continuing relationship with an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen – their Australian visa partner.
This visa is first the part of a two-stage application. The subclass 820 visa is a temporary visa and the first step towards gaining permanent residency at a later stage with a subclass 801 visa.
Once you have this visa, you will be able to remain in Australia with your Australian visa partner and live, work, and study. The Australian partner visa costs for a subclass 820 visa are updated annually, and as part of our consultation with you a comprehensive partner visa price that includes all partner visa fees will be explained.
Depending on the length of your relationship, you may be eligible to be assessed for both the stage 1 (the 820 application) and stage 2 (the 801 application) of the partner visa application up front and obtain Australian permanent residency quickly, shortening the Australian partner visa processing time.
As part of the partner visa Australia requirements of the subclass 820 visa, you must evidence the following four pillars as part of your love story:
- Financial – evidence that you share the financial aspects of your relationship.
- Household – evidence of your mutual household and that you share the domestic aspects of your relationship.
- Social – evidence that your relationship is widely known.
- Committment – evidence that you are in a long term committed relationship.
