Partner visas are available for both heterosexual and same sex couples. Partner visas are granted in two stages. The first stage is a provisional partner visa (subclass 820 for onshore applications and subclass 309 for offshore applications). After a qualifying period on the provisional partner visa, provisional partner visa holders are assessed against the criteria for the permanent partner visa, (subclass 801 for subclass 820 visa holders and subclass 100 for subclass 309 visa holders). General requirements for Australian partner visas are:
Partner Visa (820/801) Onshore Temporary to Permanent Residency This visa is for foreign nationals who are in Australia on an eligible visa and have a partner or spouse who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or who is an eligible New Zealand citizen.

Applicants will either be married to their sponsor or else have been in a de facto relationship with them for at least 12 months prior to the point of lodgement At the point of lodgement, the applicant will usually be granted a bridging visa which will allow them to continue to stay in Australia on the conditions of their original visa. Once the Temporary (820) visa is granted, after two years the applicant will be eligible for the grant of the Permanent (801) visa, which is essentially the second stage of the application process. However, if the applicant has been married to or in a de facto relationship with their sponsoring partner for at least three years when lodging their initial application, or two years if the couple have children together, it is possible to be granted the permanent (801) visa immediately. Partner Visa – (309/100) Offshore Temporary to Permanent Residency This Partner Visa is for foreign nationals who are not in Australia and have a partner or spouse who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or who is an eligible New Zealand citizen.
