Subclass 820/801 Onshore Partner Visa
Subclass 820/801 Onshore Partner Visa
The Subclass 820/801 Onshore Partner Visa is a two-stage visa that allows the partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia permanently.
The first stage (Subclass 820) grants a temporary visa, while the second stage (Subclass 801) provides permanent residency after a waiting period, typically two years from the date of application.
Eligibility: To be eligible, you must demonstrate a genuine and continuing relationship with your sponsoring partner. This can be a married or de facto relationship, including same-sex relationships.
Processing: Processing times vary but typically range from 20 to 24 months for the temporary visa, with the permanent visa assessed approximately two years after lodgement.
