Partner Visa Subclass 820/801 guidance for couples in Australia

Support for spouses and de facto partners applying from within Australia.

The Partner Visa 820/801 pathway allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia. The 820 visa is temporary, and the 801 visa is the permanent stage of the onshore partner pathway.

Partner Visa 820/801

Who this visa may suit

For couples already in Australia

This pathway may suit applicants who are in Australia and are married to, or in a de facto relationship with, an eligible Australian sponsor. The relationship must be genuine, continuing, and supported by consistent evidence.

Relationship evidence

Your relationship story must be supported by proof

A strong partner visa application should show the history and depth of the relationship. Evidence may include joint finances, shared living arrangements, social recognition, commitment, communication history, travel together, photographs, and personal statements.

Both partners have important responsibilities
Approach

Inconsistencies can weaken the case

Weak relationship timeline
Limited joint evidence
Conflicting dates or addresses
Poorly written statements

Prior visa or relationship complications
