Frequently asked questions
Which partner visa should I apply for?
If you are in Australia, you usually apply for the onshore Partner visa (820/801). If you are outside Australia, you usually apply for the offshore Partner visa (309/100). If you are engaged and plan to marry, the Prospective Marriage visa (300) may suit.
Can I bring my parents to Australia permanently?
Possibly. Parent visas depend on the balance of family test, and you can choose between contributory visas (higher cost, faster) and non-contributory visas (lower cost, very long waits). See our Parent visas page.
What evidence do I need for a partner visa?
You need evidence of four things: your finances, your household, how others see your relationship, and your commitment to each other. Download our free partner visa evidence checklist.
