Partner Visa pathway finder

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.

De facto Partner Visa evidence

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.

For some de facto Partner Visa applications, registration of the relationship can be relevant to how the relationship is assessed. It does not replace the need for genuine relationship evidence, and eligibility should be checked before relying on it.

Complex Partner Visa Issues Need a Clear Legal Strategy

Not every Partner Visa matter is straightforward. Some cases involve family violence, sponsorship limits, Schedule 3 issues, work-right restrictions, visa cancellation risks or health waiver concerns. Madhab Kharel and Emigrate Lawyers can help identify the risk and prepare the next step.

Family Violence Provisions for Partner Visa Applicants

Family Violence Provisions may assist certain Partner Visa or Prospective Marriage Visa applicants where the relationship has broken down because of family violence by the sponsor.

When this may matter

  • The applicant holds or has applied for a relevant temporary Partner Visa.
  • The relationship was genuine but later broke down due to family violence.
  • Evidence is needed to support the family violence claim and visa pathway.

How Emigrate Lawyers can assist

  • Review eligibility under the Family Violence Provisions.
  • Identify the evidence needed to support the claim.
  • Prepare submissions to the Department of Home Affairs.

Important consideration

These matters are sensitive and evidence-heavy. If you are experiencing family violence or feel unsafe, seek immediate support from emergency or specialist services. For immigration strategy, speak with Emigrate Lawyers confidentially.
