The Partner (Provisional and Migrant) Visa (subclass 309/100) is a spouse migration visa category intended for Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their spouses to settle in Australia. This visa is applicable to married or de facto partners in a stable relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident, aiming to reunite them with their partners in Australia.
The Partner Visa (subclass 820/801) is for spouses or de facto partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. It falls under the family category of visas in Australia and allows spouses or partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to settle in Australia. This visa requires the application to be lodged while in Australia, and the applicant must be in Australia when the visa is granted.
Typically, applicants first receive a temporary residence visa and then need to meet corresponding conditions during the 2-year relationship probation period, including maintaining a genuine spousal relationship. Once these conditions are met and confirmed, the applicant is eligible for a permanent residency visa.
However, in certain special circumstances, applicants may directly obtain the 801 permanent residency visa without needing to first obtain the 820 temporary residence visa. For example, if the applicant has been married for over 3 years at the time of visa application, or if the couple has joint children, the immigration department may approve the permanent residency visa directly without waiting for the completion of the relationship probation period of the temporary residence visa.
The Prospective Marriage Visa (subclass 300) is a temporary visa designed for unmarried partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. This visa allows the unmarried partner to travel to Australia and commence a relationship with their Australian sponsor for a period of up to nine months. However, during this period, the applicant must complete the marriage registration with the sponsor, either within or outside Australia. They must also travel to Australia at least once before marrying the sponsor, and submit an application for the subsequent spouse migration visa within the validity period of their visa.
Holders need to demonstrate their genuine and stable relationship and intention to establish long-term life in Australia. This visa provides a pathway for couples who do not yet meet the requirements for an Australian partner visa to commence their relationship in Australia and eventually obtain permanent residency.
The Contributory Parent Visa (subclass 143/173) is a family reunion visa designed by Australia for the parents of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.
The Sponsored Parent (Temporary) Visa (subclass 870) is designed for parents who wish to live with their Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen children in Australia. Holders of the 870 visa can reunite with their children in Australia and stay for up to 3 or 5 years. This visa can be applied for multiple times, with a cumulative residence period of up to 10 years.
The subclass 870 visa allows for multiple entries, and the sponsoring children must meet eligibility requirements. They need to provide financial sponsorship and meet financial requirements. Parents must provide health and character certificates and purchase health insurance to cover medical expenses during their stay in Australia. The 870 visa provides parents with a temporary reunion pathway, giving them the opportunity to spend time with their children in Australia and experience Australian life and culture. For friends considering sponsoring their parents through the contributory or queue applications, if they do not want their parents to endure a long processing period and their parents do not intend to settle in Australia permanently, the 870 visa undoubtedly offers a more flexible and convenient reunion option.
The Contributory Aged Parent Visa (subclass 884/864) is a family reunion visa category provided by Australia for its citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to sponsor their parents to settle in Australia. These visas are designed for parents who are aged 65 or older and meet other requirements.
The Child Visa (subclass 101/802) is for biological, adopted, or stepchildren under 25 years of age of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens living in Australia. This visa allows them to live permanently in Australia, with sponsorship provided by their parent or guardian.
The Resident Return Visa (subclass 155/157) is applicable to individuals who are or were previously Australian permanent residents, or who were once Australian citizens, and wish to re-enter Australia after traveling abroad while maintaining their Australian permanent residency status. These two visas allow holders to return to Australia and retain their permanent residency status or Australian citizenship.
If the requirements for the subclass 155 visa are not met, applicants may still be assessed under the subclass 157 visa. In such cases, applicants may be granted a visa valid for up to 3 months.
The subclass 155, to apply for the subclass 155 Resident Return visa, the applicant's status must be that of an Australian permanent resident, a former Australian permanent resident whose visa has not been canceled, or a former Australian citizen who has lost or renounced citizenship:
The subclass 157, if the applicant does not meet the requirements for a 5-year or 1-year validity period under the subclass 155 Resident Return visa, they may still apply for a 3-month validity period under the subclass 157 Resident Return visa if they meet the following conditions:
