Partner Visas
Partner visas enable the spouse, de facto partner, or fiancée/fiancé of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia temporarily or permanently. These visas prioritize family unity and require proof of a genuine, ongoing relationship, shared finances, household, social recognition, and commitment. Partner visa pathways include provisional and permanent streams, and applicants typically undergo health and character checks. Processing involves relationship evidence, sponsor obligations, and potential waiting periods. Partner visas are central to family reunification and support couples where one partner holds Australian residency or citizenship.
Purpose: Join your Australian partner (spouse or de facto)
