Visa Features
This visa empowers you to enter and stay in this country on the basis of your marriage or relationship to your Australian partner.
Partner Visa 309
A 309 visa provides temporary entry and residence while your permanent stage is assessed. You can live in Australia, work, and study. You may enroll in Medicare once eligible. Many clients also improve their English skills through settlement programs, which helps with daily life and employment.
Partner Visa 100
Partner Visa 100 enables you to remain in Australian territory on a permanent basis if your relationship remains genuine and continuing. It offers full work rights, access to services, and a pathway to citizenship after meeting residence rules.
Partner Sponsoring Such a Visa Must Either be:
- Permanent resident of Australia
- Citizen of Australia
- Eligible citizen of New Zealand
The sponsor must usually be 18 years or older and meet character requirements. Certain limitations can apply to repeat sponsorships. If the sponsor has specific offences or previous sponsorships, extra checks may be required. Aspire Square guides you on sponsor eligibility and supporting documents so your file is decision-ready.
Eligibility for Applicants
Eligibility conditions differ for married applicants, de-facto applicants, and family members. Every applicant must satisfy health and character requirements and provide accurate information in the combined application for Partner Visa 309 and 100.
Married Applicants
Your marriage must be considered legal under existing Australian law. Marriages that are legally valid in other countries are generally accepted. Applicants must show a genuine and continuing relationship through documents across financial, household, social, and commitment factors. Wedding certificates alone are not enough. Provide joint accounts, lease or utility evidence, photographs, travel history, communication logs, and statements from family and friends.
De-facto Applicants
For de-facto eligibility, an applicant must have attained 18 years by age. You usually demonstrate 12 months of living together, unless you qualify for an exemption such as relationship registration in a participating state or compelling circumstances. You must not be in a prohibited family relationship. Present strong proof across the same four pillars used for married applicants. Aspire Square structures your documents so your story is clear and consistent.
Family Members
Candidates applying through this category could be dependent children or dependent relatives. Dependent applicants must satisfy certain character and health requirements to be eligible. If a child needs to join the application after the temporary visa is granted, a Dependent Child visa 445 pathway may apply.

Powers of Visa 309
Partner Visa 309 permits you entry into Australia and residence within its territory while your permanent stage is processed. You can work and study. You may enrol in Medicare when eligible. The 309 stage is the temporary visa linked to your offshore application.
Travel While Waiting
If you plan to visit Australia while waiting before the grant, you may need a separate valid visa for travel because bridging visas are not attached to offshore partner applications.
Powers of Visa 100
Visa 100 empowers you to reside permanently with your partner in Australia. You have full work rights, study options, and access to services. If your relationship is long-term at the time of decision, some applicants receive the 100 stage directly after the 309 stage with no further waiting period.
If the Relationship Ends
If the relationship breaks down after the 309 grant, there are limited circumstances where the permanent stage can still be considered, such as where there is a child of the relationship or family violence provisions apply.
