Infinite migration is ready to assist you with all you family visa options. We would like to assist in reuniting families and are available to discuss the best family visa option available.
IMPORTANT CHANGES AHEAD: On 10 December 2018 the Family Violence Bill passed in Senate. The Bill will likely mean sponsorships have to be approved before Partner visas can be lodged. If you are planning to apply for a Partner visa, we recommend booking an appointment with the Infinite Migration Team to discuss and understand how these changes may impact you.
Overview
The Partner visas (subclass 820 and 801) allow the individuals to live in Australia who are spouse or a de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
The temporary partner 820 visa is granted first and allows the applicant to live in Australia for two years. During this period, the applicants can apply for the permanent 801 visa if they wish to live in Australia permanently.
If you have been in a long-term relationship before you lodge your application, the permanent subclass 801 visa may be granted immediately after the temporary subclass 820 visa. Contact Infinite Migration to discuss whether you are eligible.
