Which Australian Partner Visa pathway may apply to you?
Answer a few questions to understand whether your circumstances may point toward a Subclass 820/801 onshore Partner Visa, Subclass 309/100 offshore Partner Visa, or Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa. This is a guide only and does not replace legal advice.
Find the likely starting point for your Partner Visa pathway
Your answers will update the result panel. A lawyer should still assess eligibility, visa conditions and evidence before lodgement.
When you apply, will the applicant be in Australia?
This is often the first question because onshore and offshore partner visa pathways are different.
Does the applicant’s current visa restrict an onshore application?
Some visa conditions, such as a No Further Stay condition, can prevent a valid onshore application unless addressed.
Are the applicant and sponsor legally married?
If legally married, the onshore Partner Visa pathway may be available, subject to the other criteria.
Are the applicant and sponsor in a de facto relationship?
A de facto application usually needs strong relationship evidence, especially if the couple has not lived together for long.
Are the applicant and sponsor legally married?
If the applicant is offshore and the couple is married, the offshore Partner Visa pathway may be relevant.
Are the applicant and sponsor in a de facto relationship?
If the applicant is offshore and the relationship is de facto, the offshore Partner Visa pathway may be available.
Are the applicant and sponsor engaged and intending to marry?
If the couple is engaged but not yet married or de facto, the Prospective Marriage Visa may be relevant.
This tool gives a general indication only and is not legal advice. Visa conditions, Schedule 3 issues, sponsorship eligibility, relationship evidence, prior refusals, timing and personal circumstances can change the correct strategy. If you are unsure, confused, or your circumstances do not clearly fit one pathway, you should contact Emigrate Lawyers for advice before lodging an application.
Not living together for 12 months yet?
Relationship registration may assist some de facto couples to strengthen their Partner Visa evidence, depending on the state or territory and the couple’s circumstances.
