Overview of Temporary Partner Visa Australia
The Family Stream primarily includes Partner Visas, allowing professionals in Australia to live with their families while offering a pathway to citizenship. To qualify for this temporary spouse visa, the applicant must be:
- An Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
- In a genuine and committed relationship with their spouse or de facto partner.
Sponsorship Requirements
To apply for a Spouse Dependent Visa, the sponsor must provide a written commitment to financially support their family members during their stay in Australia. This includes:
Travel expenses / Accommodation / Daily living costs
Applicants can first obtain a temporary partner visa and later transition to a permanent visa upon meeting the eligibility criteria.
Exploring Partner Visa Options
As stated earlier, you can apply for temporary partner visas first (820 and 309) and then get permanent resident status through different subclasses (801, 100) depending you are inside Australia or outside. Know the visa type and then choose the correct visa type for a partner visa.
Subclass 820
Subclass 820 allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian resident or citizen, or eligible citizen of New Zealand to live, work and study in Australia temporarily. You and your family must be inside Australia during the visa application. Getting subclass 820 is the first step toward a permanent Partner visa (subclass 801).
Subclass 801
This visa authorises the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian passport holder, PR holder, or New Zealand citizen to live in Australia permanently. It is usually only for individuals with a current visa (subclass 820). The applicant must prove a genuine and continued relationship with the sponsor.
Subclass 309
Visa subclass 309 is a temporary partner visa in Australia that lets the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian resident, citizen, or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia temporarily. This visa approval is the first step toward a permanent partner visa (subclass 100). You and your family must be outside Australia at the time of application and granted a spouse visa.
Subclass 100
This visa subclass lets the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian national, permanent visa holder, or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia permanently. It is usually issued to people who hold a temporary Partner visa (subclass 309). In major cases, continue to have a genuine and ongoing relationship with your partner.
Subclasses 309 and 820 are issued on a temporary basis to let you live, study, and work until you receive permanent residence status from the Australian government. Under these temporary visas, Indian citizens are eligible to avail healthcare, but you can’t be able to get funded by the government for your studies over there. Further, you can have dependent children but not add relatives as dependents.
The processing time for permanent partner visas (801 and 100) usually starts after the 2-year period you applied for the combined temporary and permanent partner visas. With 100 and 801 spouse visas, you are allowed to stay, study and work in Australia on a permanent basis. You can sponsor your dependent children and relatives for Australia PR from India. Under this visa, you can apply for Australian Citizenship and travel to and from Australia as long as the visa is valid. You need to renew this Australia long-term visa every five years.
Australia lets foreign workers and students call their Children under subclasses like Dependent Child visas (subclass 445). It also allows your aged parents to join and utilise their skills under various subclasses. It also offers Marriage visas, remaining relative visas, and adopted child visas under multiple subclasses.
