More information about Australian partner migration routes

If you are in a relationship with an Australian citizen, a permanent resident of Australia or an eligible New Zealand citizen, you might qualify for the Australian partner migration route.

There are a number of different partner categories. Each has its own set criteria, based on your location and the nature of your relationship with the resident or citizen.

Partner (Provisional) route (subclass 309) and Partner (Migrant) route (subclass 100)

Any person submitting an application for a Partner visa (subclass 309/100) must be outside of Australia at the time of the application and the decision.

Prospective Marriage route (subclass 300)

The purpose of this route is to allow the unmarried partners of Australian citizens to travel to Australia to get married. You must be outside of Australia when you apply for the route and when it is granted.

The Prospective Marriage document is granted for nine months and has unrestricted work rights. The holder is required to marry their partner and apply for the Australian Partner document (subclass 820) before their current route expires.

This is often referred to as fiancé migration and is used by unmarried individuals who cannot show that they have cohabited for 12 months.

Partner route (subclasses 820 and 801)

As subclasses 820 visa and 801 visa cover permanent partner visas, you may apply from within Australia.

To apply, you must hold a valid Australian visa (excluding a Bridging, Criminal Justice or Enforcement visa) or be eligible for a waiver. In addition to this, these applicants must not hold a visa with condition 8503, which prevents you from making a further application in Australia.

New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (Temporary) route (subclass 461)

This route allows a non-New Zealand family member of a New Zealand citizen, who is living in Australia, to live and work in Australia for up to five years.

This is a five year provisional document that will not lead to permanent residence, but can be renewed onshore as required. It allows the holder to:

  • Work and study in Australia
  • Live in and travel to and from Australia for five years from the date it is granted.
