Overview
The Partner Visa (Subclasses 820 and 801) allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia. Initially, you are granted the temporary Partner Visa (Subclass 820) which lets you stay in Australia with your partner. After a certain period, you can apply for the permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 801) if you’re still in a committed relationship.
