Partner visas allow you to live in Australia with your Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen partner. The process involves two stages: a temporary visa granted first, followed by a permanent visa after a waiting period (usually 2 years from the initial application). The visa covers both married and de facto couples, and can be applied for from inside Australia (onshore) or outside Australia (offshore). Partner visa applications are document-intensive and require strong evidence of a genuine relationship. Our OMARA-registered agents help you build a compelling case and manage the entire process.
