Partner (Provisional and Migrant Visa) (Subclass 309/100)

The Offshore Partner Visa (subclass 309 and 100) is designed for the de facto partners or spouses of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens, allowing them to live in Australia. This visa application must be made while the applicant is outside Australia and is granted offshore. The process involves two stages: the temporary visa (subclass 309) and the permanent residency visa (subclass 100).

We specialize in guiding you through this process at Grow Smart Visa Consultants, ensuring a smooth transition from the provisional 309 visa to the permanent 100 visa. Our expertise and personalized approach help you navigate the complexities of the visa application, making your journey to Australia as smooth as possible. Let us help you reunite with your loved one and start your new life in Australia.

Partner (Provisional and Migrant Visa) (Subclass 309/100)

With the Partner (Provisional) visa (subclass 309), you can live, work, and study in Australia. This visa allows you to travel to and from Australia as often as you wish. If eligible, you can also attend free English language classes through the Adult Migrant English Program and apply for access to Australia’s public health care scheme, Medicare. The visa permits you to stay in Australia until your permanent Partner visa (subclass 100) application is finalized or until you decide to withdraw your application. You can include family members in your application, provided they meet specific requirements and are outside of Australia at the time of application. The costs for this visa cover both the temporary and permanent stages, with additional fees for family members. Upon receiving the visa, you must enter Australia before the initial arrival date specified in your grant letter. While waiting for a decision on your visa application, it’s essential to consider your health insurance options to ensure coverage for any medical treatment needed in Australia.
