Australia spouse visa allows married or de facto partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live and work in Australia. It is a two-stage process, starting with a temporary visa (subclass 820 for onshore applicants or subclass 309 for offshore applicants), which leads to permanent residency through a permanent partner visa (subclass 801 or 100). Applicants must provide evidence of their genuine and ongoing relationship and meet character and health requirements.   ## **What is an Australia Spouse Visa?** Australia Spouse Visa **(Subclass 100)**, also known as the Partner (Migrant) visa. It allows the de facto partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia permanently. The Australian Government grants it to individuals who already hold a temporary Partner visa (subclass 309). ## **Requirements for Partner Visa (Spouse Visa) Australia** To apply for a Partner Visa in Australia, you must meet certain criteria. You need to either be married, engaged with plans to marry, or living in a de facto relationship. No matter the relationship type, you'll need to show evidence that your relationship is genuine and committed. You can apply while in Australia (for visas 820/801) or from outside the country (for visas 309/100). If you apply from within Australia, you may be granted a bridging visa, allowing you to stay in the country until your application is processed. If you're applying for a Prospective Marriage Visa (also called a fiancé visa, subclass 300), the application must be lodged while you're outside Australia. The process involves two stages: first, applying for a provisional visa and later, a permanent visa. You can sponsor up to two overseas partners in your lifetime, but there must be at least five years between each application. ## **Types of Spouse Visa** Australia offers visas for citizens, residents, and eligible New Zealanders to reunite with their partners in Australia, either temporarily or permanently. Here are a few types: | **Visa Subclass** | **Visa Name** | **Description** | **Where to Apply** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 300 | Prospective Marriage visa | Allows entry to Australia to marry a prospective spouse.
