Partner (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 309) And Partner (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 100)

Key Features

Partner visas (subclasses 309 and 100) allow a partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or a qualifying New Zealand citizen to stay in Australia.

The Temporary Partner (Provisional) Visa (subclass 309) is issued first, which allows you to stay in Australia until the Permanent Partner (Migrant) Visa (subclass 100) is processed.
