Partner Visa (subclasses 820 and 801) (Onshore)

Create Your Future Together in Australia with the Partner Visa (Subclass 820 and Subclass 801)

Embarking on a new life together in Australia is an exciting journey, and the Partner Visa (Subclass 820 and Subclass 801) provides a pathway for couples to build their future while living in Australia. This visa is ideal for partners already residing in Australia who wish to secure their permanent residency through their relationship.

Why Choose the Subclass 820 and Subclass 801 Partner Visas?

  • Pathway to Permanent Residency: The Partner Visa offers a two-stage process, starting with a temporary visa (Subclass 820) and progressing to a permanent residency visa (Subclass 801), ensuring a long-term future in Australia.
  • Live and Work in Australia: The Subclass 820 visa allows you to live and work in Australia, providing you with the freedom to fully integrate into Australian life and contribute to the community.
  • Access to Healthcare: As a Subclass 820 visa holder, you will have access to Australia’s Medicare system, ensuring you and your family receive quality healthcare services.
  • Family Inclusion: You can include your dependent children in your application, enabling your whole family to join you in Australia and start a new chapter together.
  • Pathway to Citizenship: Once you hold the Subclass 801 visa, you may be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship, offering a secure and permanent future in Australia.
