Partner Visa

The Partner Visa allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live and work in Australia. This visa provides a pathway to permanent residency for couples in genuine and ongoing relationships. It is an ideal option for partners looking to reunite and start a life together in Australia.

The Partner Visa provides couples the opportunity to live together in Australia, with the option to transition to permanent residency after demonstrating the ongoing nature of the relationship. Processing times can vary, so planning ahead is essential.

Eligibility Criteria
