About this visa
The onshore partner visa lets the spouse or de facto partner of a citizen or permanent resident live in the country while their application is processed. It is one application decided in two stages.
You are first granted a temporary visa (820), which lets you live and work while your case continues, and later the permanent visa (801) once the relationship and other requirements are satisfied.
Success depends heavily on demonstrating a genuine and continuing relationship, so we help you build strong, consistent evidence and prepare the statements that tell your story clearly.
This may suit you if
- You are in a genuine married or de facto relationship
