Partner visa Australia overview and relationship pathways
When you are applying for a partner visa, your relationship is central to the application.

Partner visa pathways generally include onshore options such as subclass 820 and 801, and offshore options such as subclass 309 and 100. The right pathway depends on where you are applying from and your individual circumstances.

" Your relationship, living arrangements, and visa pathway are often more connected than applicants initially realise — understanding how these fit together early can make a significant difference to your partner visa options and application process later. "
