Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Partner Visa?
A partner visa allows a person to live in Australia based on their relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This visa is available to people who are married or in a de facto relationship. There are two main stages: a temporary visa and, later, a permanent visa, if the relationship continues and conditions are met. The process typically involves providing evidence of the relationship, meeting health and character requirements, and submitting documentation within the application timeframe. Partner visas can be applied for from inside or outside Australia, depending on the circumstances and the visa subclass.
What is the difference between onshore and offshore partner visas?
An onshore partner visa is lodged while the applicant is in Australia, while an offshore partner visa is submitted when the applicant is outside the country. Both involve a two-stage process—temporary followed by permanent residency. Applicants for onshore visas may be eligible for a bridging visa to remain in Australia while their application is processed. Offshore applicants remain overseas until a decision is made or are granted entry under another visa, if applicable. Processing times and eligibility criteria can differ slightly between the two, so it’s important to understand which pathway aligns with your circumstances and location at the time of application.
What kind of relationship evidence is required?
Applicants must provide substantial evidence that the relationship is genuine and ongoing. This may include joint financial records, shared residential arrangements, social evidence like photographs or declarations from friends and family, and details about the commitment between the partners. The Department of Home Affairs considers factors such as the length of the relationship, shared responsibilities, and future plans. Each piece of evidence helps to demonstrate the authenticity of the partnership. The type and amount of documentation may vary depending on the visa subclass and relationship history. Providing consistent, detailed information helps support the application and aligns with visa requirements.

Aged Parent Visa (Subclass 804)
The aged parent visa lets eligible parents stay in Australia while remaining close to their children who are permanent residents or citizens. It involves long wait times, which makes correct preparation critical. Immigration Agency works with families to organise documents, manage timelines, and lodge applications that meet current Department requirements. We also help coordinate bridging visa steps where applicable. While outcomes are never guaranteed, having a clear, consistent application process helps families navigate what can be a lengthy and emotionally important journey.
Child Visa (Subclass 101) (Offshore)
This visa supports reunification for children living overseas with a parent who is already settled in Australia. The process requires clear evidence of the parent–child relationship, along with health, identity, and sponsorship documentation. At Immigration Agency, we assist families with preparing submissions, reviewing documentation, and handling offshore communication requirements. We aim to keep the process structured so that every document has its place and timing remains on track. Clarity and accuracy help create a stronger foundation for the visa assessment process.
Child Visa (Subclass 802) (Onshore)
Children who are already in Australia may be eligible to stay permanently with a sponsoring parent. With this visa, timing and accuracy of documents play a central role. Our team helps prepare the application by outlining current standards and managing required paperwork such as identity, dependency, and custody evidence. Every family is different, and we tailor our support to reflect that. By staying focused on structure and consistency, we help parents feel more confident about what to submit and when.
New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (Temporary) Visa (Subclass 461)
Living in Australia as a family member of a New Zealand citizen? The subclass 461 visa provides a temporary option to remain in the country with work and study rights. It applies to non-New Zealand family members, including partners and dependent children. Immigration Agency helps you prepare the required relationship evidence and documents, along with general support through the application process. We also assist with renewals when circumstances remain unchanged. Having everything in place helps reduce issues during assessment and submission.
Partner Visa (Subclass 309/100) (Offshore)
The partner visa (309/100) is for couples applying from outside Australia. It begins with a temporary stage before moving to permanent residency. Applicants must show that the relationship is genuine and ongoing through consistent evidence and documentation. We work with couples to prepare applications that follow current Department expectations without unnecessary confusion. Each step is explained simply, from the sponsor’s paperwork to the applicant’s declarations. Our approach is built around preparation and clarity, making the visa process easier to manage over time.
Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) (Onshore)
Couples already living together in Australia often apply through this partner visa route. It includes two stages and requires updated documentation over time. The process can be lengthy, especially when multiple declarations, financial links, and shared living arrangements need to be demonstrated. We help you stay organised from the first submission through to follow-ups, guiding you through the formal structure without adding unnecessary stress. The aim is to keep everything clear, accurate, and aligned with what’s currently required.
Prospective Marriage (Subclass 300)
Planning to marry in Australia? The prospective marriage visa offers a temporary entry option for partners living overseas. Applicants need to demonstrate a genuine relationship and the intent to marry within the required timeframe. Immigration Agency supports couples through each step of the application — from outlining the timeline to gathering relationship documentation. After marriage, further visa options may follow. With emotions, travel plans, and legal requirements involved, it helps to have the application process clearly mapped out from the beginning.
