The Partner Visa (Subclasses 820 and 801) is designed for the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, offering a pathway to live together in Australia and eventually obtain permanent residency.

• Subclass 820 (Temporary):
  Grants temporary residency, allowing the applicant to live, work, and study in Australia while awaiting permanent residency.

• Subclass 801 (Permanent):
  Provides permanent residency, typically assessed two years after the 820 application is lodged, provided the relationship is ongoing.

• Genuine Relationship:
  Must be in a genuine and ongoing spousal or de facto relationship with an eligible sponsor.

• Onshore Application:
  The applicant must be inside Australia when applying for the Subclass 820 visa and when it is granted.

• Ongoing Sponsorship:
  The sponsoring partner must meet sponsorship eligibility and agree to support the applicant.

• Continued Relationship:
  The relationship must remain valid and committed throughout the visa process, especially up to the permanent stage.

• Live Together in Australia
  Maintain your relationship while living together legally in Australia.

• Full Work & Study Rights
  Freedom to work and study in Australia from the time the 820 visa is granted.

• Pathway to Permanent Residency
  Subclass 801 grants permanent residency, offering access to Medicare, social benefits, and citizenship eligibility.
