The purpose of an Australian partner visa is to bring eligible Australian, New Zealand, or permanent resident spouses or de facto partners back together. Depending on their selected category, Partner Visa Australia permits applicants to live and work in Australia either temporarily or permanently. There are two primary categories for partner visas in Australia. These are:
Partner visa for offshore work (subclass 309 and 100)
Partner visa for onshore work (subclass 820 and 801)
I’ll give you a thorough breakdown of a partner visa 100 in this blog post, including information on the application process, qualifying requirements, processing time, and cost of the visa. First, let’s define a partner (migrant) visa 100.
Using a 100 partner visa:
You are allowed to live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely.
You are able to use Medicare, the public healthcare program in Australia.
Your eligible family members may be sponsored to visit Australia.
For about five years, you can travel to and from Australia.
If you are eligible, you can also apply for Australian citizenship afterwards.
What Does a Partner Visa 100 Require to Be Eligible?
In order to qualify for a partner visa under class 100, you have to fulfill the subsequent eligibility requirements:
Be sure you have a 309 partner visa before submitting your subclass 100 application.
In Australia, you need to maintain a consistent and sincere relationship with your spouse or de facto partner.
It is required that you have been dating your sponsor for at least two years, or that two years have elapsed since you filed your combined 309 and 100 application.
With the exception of other partners, you had to be living together and in a mutual relationship.
Both you and your partner need to be well-mannered and of high moral character.
