Common Concerns about Provisional Visa 820 Answered

The Partner Visa 820 is a temporary visa designed for individuals in genuine and ongoing relationships with Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.

The subclass 820 visa is the first step or phase of the two-stage visa process in the Australian immigration system.
No, the Subclass 820 is not a permanent visa on its own. Instead, this visa lets the de facto partner of an Australian citizen settle temporarily in Australia. Once the visa holder has fulfilled all the necessary requirements and has maintained the visa for a specified duration, they will be eligible for the permanent visa and can apply for the Partner Visa Subclass 801.

The Subclass 820 partner visa is for those in a genuine relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. Meeting health, character and relationship criteria is mandatory, as is providing evidence of the authenticity of the partnership. The visa enables people to stay in Australia with their partner, with the aim of gaining permanent residency and potentially citizenship.

Yes, you can apply for a Partner Visa Subclass 820 while already in Australia on a different visa, known as an onshore application. However, you must be in Australia and meet the eligibility requirements for the temporary Subclass 820 visa and ensure you hold a valid substantive visa or a Bridging visa A, B, or C while your visa application is being processed. The partner visa applicant must comply with visa conditions and maintain lawful status in Australia during the processing period.

The visa processing time for Subclass 820 can vary depending on various factors such as the complexity of your case, the accuracy of your application and the volume of applications being processed at the time.

The Subclass 820 visa is typically granted for a temporary period of two years. The Subclass 820 visa continues to remain valid while the Subclass 801 visa application is being processed. It acts as a bridging visa, allowing the visa holder to maintain their lawful status and rights in Australia. After the two-year period (from the date of lodging the Subclass 820 visa application), the visa holder becomes eligible to transition to the permanent stage of the visa, which is the permanent 801 visa.
The partner visas onshore subclass 820 and 801 differ in stages and permanency. The 820 serves as a temporary visa for those in genuine relationships with eligible Australians, allowing them to reside, work and study in Australia during their permanent partner visa application processing.

It is important to adhere to the visa conditions, maintain your relationship, and provide any required documentation to ensure a smooth transition to the next stage of permanent residency.
