Partner Visa Holders – Important Information (Subclasses 309 & 820)
Date: 20 August 2025
If you currently hold a Partner (Provisional) visa – Subclass 309 or a Partner (Temporary) visa – Subclass 820, and it has been two years since you lodged your initial application, you may now be eligible to apply for the permanent stage of your Partner visa. This is an important milestone in your journey toward securing permanent residency in Australia.
Pathways to Permanent Partner Visas
Depending on your current visa subclass, you will progress to one of the following permanent visas:
Subclass 309 (Partner – Provisional) visa holders ? You can now apply for the Subclass 100 (Partner – Migrant) visa.
Subclass 820 (Partner – Temporary) visa holders ? You can now apply for the Subclass 801 (Partner – Permanent) visa.
These permanent visas provide long-term residency rights in Australia, including access to benefits, healthcare, and a pathway to Australian citizenship in the future.
How to Ensure Faster Processing?
To avoid unnecessary delays in your application, it is essential to:
Provide correct and complete information – Ensure that all personal details, relationship evidence, and supporting information are up to date.
Submit all required documents – This may include identity documents, proof of relationship, and any additional evidence requested by the Department of Home Affairs.
Keep your contact details current – So the department can easily reach you for further information or clarification.
Submitting accurate information and complete documentation will help your application move through the system faster.
Important: Changes in Your Circumstances
If your personal situation has changed since lodging your Partner visa application, you must notify the Department of Home Affairs. Examples include:
If your relationship has ended.
If you have married, separated, or divorced.
If there has been a change in your family composition (such as children being born).
If your contact details or address have changed.
Failing to update the department about such changes may affect the outcome of your permanent visa application.
Final Note:The transition from a temporary Partner visa (309/820) to a permanent Partner visa (100/801) is a significant step toward establishing a stable future in Australia. By providing accurate information and ensuring all documents are submitted, you can make this stage of the journey smoother and faster.
