Holders of Provisional Partner Visa in Second Stage (Subclass 801 and 100)

The holders of Partner Visa Subclass 820 and 309 reach the second stage with this category of application.

Visa duration and conditions

After completing a period of 2 years- beginning from the time of applying for the initial visa, you can submit your application to acquire a permanent partner visa via the Immigration Department. This is the stage when the authorities ask for evidence related to your relationship in the current time, covering the whole 2 years duration after the grant of your initial visa. 

In a few situations, you may get accepted for permanent residency even after breaking up your relationship within the period of 2 years. Such situations include:

  • The other partner dies during the initial 2 years of time. 

  • The couple has been separated, but they have children below the age of 18 years. 

  • The visa holder or visa holder’s dependents have faced domestic violence in the provided 2 years of living together. 

Any of the above-mentioned circumstances make the applicant eligible for the permanent residency even after breaking up the relationship with the initial sponsor.

Criteria to become eligible for your Second Stage of Partner Visa

These are the criteria to ensure that you are eligible for a partner visa:

1. Your relationship has to be continuous and genuine

You are required to present the evidence that your relationship is genuine and you share your life with your partner. It is essential that you live with your partner. If not, then you must not be living away from your partner permanently. The Immigration Department looks into multiple factors associated with your relationship, like:

  • A couple’s financial interdependence

  • Cohabitation

  • Commitment level

  • Social factors of a relationship

2. You need to clear character and health

You need to go through the evaluations related to police and health. Passing these evaluations will be necessary to get approval. In case of a health-related condition, it is possible to utilize a waiver considering the health requirements and treatment cost impact on the Australian community.
