Australia Dependent Visa Process

Subclass 309 Visa (Partner Provisional Visa)
An Australian citizen, permanent resident of Australia, or a qualifying citizen of New Zealand may enter Australia temporarily as a de facto spouse or partner using this visa. Obtaining this visa is the first step toward a permanent Partner Visa (subclass 100).

When applying for the visa, the applicant must be in a real relationship with the spouse or de facto partner in Australia.

Features of the Subclass 309 visa:

• This visa is only valid temporarily.
• A permanent partner visa is required to obtain this one.
• At the time of application, the applicant must be outside of Australia.

Advantages of Subclass 309 visa:

The Subclass 309 visa holder can:

• Work in Australia
• Study in Australia
• Travel to and from Australia as often as needed
• Attend unlimited English classes until you reach vocational English despite completing 510 hours which was the previous limit.
• Make use of Australia’s public health care scheme
• Family members including dependent children can be included in the application and their visas will be granted provided they meet health and character requirements.

Duration of stay:

The duration of the stay will be temporary until the permanent Partner (Migrant) visa (subclass 100) application is decided upon or the application is withdrawn. Most guests stay for 15 to 24 months throughout their visit.

Australia Partner Visa (Subclass 100)

To be eligible for this visa, the applicant must be in a legitimate relationship with their spouse or de facto partner.

The individual must apply for this temporary visa when they are not in Australia.

Only holders of a Subclass 309 visa are eligible for this visa. Holders of this visa are permitted to remain in the country indefinitely after which they may petition to become citizens. To achieve this, the visa holder must continue to have a sincere and committed connection with their Australian partner.

Since many variables affect the processing time, it is challenging to forecast the Partner Visa 309 and Visa 100 processing times. The following elements influence how long it takes to process a spouse visa:
