About Partner Visas
Australian partner visas allow the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia. These visas are designed to keep families together and provide a pathway to permanent residence.
Partner visas are typically granted in two stages: a temporary (provisional) visa followed by a permanent visa after approximately two years. This two-stage process allows the Department of Home Affairs to ensure the relationship is genuine and continuing.
