The Partner Visa allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia. There are two categories of Partner Visas: the provisional visa (subclass 309) and the permanent visa (subclass 100).
To apply for a Partner Visa, you should be in a genuine relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. You must apply online and provide evidence of your relationship, such as shared financial responsibilities, the nature of your household, social context, and the nature of your commitment to each other.
Processing times can vary based on the complexity of each case, the volume of applications, and whether you've provided all necessary supporting documents. As of the last update, the provisional visa (subclass 309) takes about 12-17 months for 75-90% of applications. The permanent visa (subclass 100) takes about 12-23 months for 75-90% of applications.
