Partner (Provisional) Visa - Subclass 309 Visa

Overview

Begin your Australian journey with your partner – even as your permanent visa application moves forward. At

Ezy Immigration , we know couples need to be together — when countries keep them apart. The

serves as the initial step for people

outside Australia

who have a

real relationship

with an

Australian citizen/ permanent resident , or qualified New Zealand citizen. This visa lets you

come to Australia and stay for a while

as officials review your

Subclass 100 permanent visa

application. This visa has an influence on couples who are either

married

or in a

de facto relationship

and want to start their life together in Australia.

The

Partner (Provisional) Subclass 309 visa

is an

offshore visa

that enables the partner of an Australian citizen or permanent resident to live in Australia for a limited time. It’s the

first stage

of the

two-stage partner migration process , with the

permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 100)

being the second. You must be

outside Australia when you apply

and

when the visa is granted .

Live in Australia while your permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 100) goes through processing

Have a job and take classes in Australia

Go in and out of Australia

Take free English classes (if you qualify)

Who can apply for the Subclass 309 Visa?

This visa suits:

Married pairs

where one spouse has Australian citizenship or permanent residency

De facto pairs

(including same-sex partners) who have lived together for at least

12 months , or have signed up with a state relationship registry

New husbands and wives

or couples about to marry (if you plan to wed before the visa decision comes through)

If you’re starting a new life together growing your family, or thinking about your future in Australia, you need to get a Subclass 309 visa first.

What Sets the Subclass 309 Visa Apart?

The Subclass 309 differs from onshore partner visas (like

Subclass 820 ) because it’s for

people applying from outside Australia . It lets you

come to Australia and stay

while you wait to hear about your

permanent residency (Subclass 100) . This visa can take

months to process , but once you get it, you’ll have most of the same rights as residents while you wait for your long-term visa.

Apply from overseas : You submit your application while you’re outside Australia.

Get your 309 visa : If approved, you can enter and live in Australia.

Wait two years : After about 24 months, they evaluate the permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 100).

Become a permanent resident : Once granted, you get all the perks of being a permanent Australian resident.

You need to turn in

one application

for both the Subclass 309 and Subclass 100 visas. The Department will check if you qualify for the 100 visa

two years after you first applied .

How to Make Your Subclass 309 Visa Application Stronger
