How the partner visa works
Married and de facto couples lodge one combined application. It is decided in two stages.
You lodge one application
From inside Australia you apply for the 820/801. From outside Australia you apply for the 309/100. You pay one application charge.
Temporary visa granted
If approved, you get the temporary 820 or 309. You can live, work and study in Australia.
Permanent stage assessed
About two years after you applied, you send updated evidence and the permanent 801 or 100 is assessed.
Engaged and outside Australia? The Prospective Marriage visa 300 lets you come to Australia to marry, then apply onshore.
