Overview
The Partner Visa Subclass 309/100 lets the partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia temporarily, and then permanently. This visa is a bridge for partners to build their life together in Australia, offering a step-by-step path to permanent residency. Initially, the subclass 309 visa is granted, allowing the partner to move to Australia and live temporarily.
