What Is the 309/100 Partner Visa?
The 309/100 Partner Visa is a two-stage offshore visa pathway that allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to migrate to Australia.
The applicant must be outside Australia when they lodge the application and when the Department makes the initial decision.
How the Two Stages Work
Subclass 309 (Temporary Partner Visa):This is the first stage. Once granted, it allows the applicant to live and work in Australia on a temporary basis while the Department further assesses the relationship.
Subclass 100 (Permanent Partner Visa):The Department typically assesses this stage approximately two years after the initial application and grants permanent residency, provided the relationship remains genuine and ongoing.
To meet the requirements of the Department of Home Affairs, applicants must demonstrate a genuine and continuing relationship through extensive supporting evidence. This includes statutory declarations, financial records, shared living arrangements, photographs, and communication history.
