The 801 visa confirms your permanent residency status in Australia. This milestone ensures stability and the full benefits of permanent residency, such as healthcare, unrestricted employment, and eligibility for citizenship.
The move from 820 to 801 is not automatic. You must actively provide updated relationship evidence around the 2-year mark from your initial 820 application. We make sure your timeline, documentation, and forms are submitted correctly and reflect the ongoing nature of your relationship.
The 801 Partner Visa is generally processed within 6 to 12 months after you submit updated evidence confirming the ongoing nature of your relationship since the grant of your 820 visa. This evidence may include joint financial documents, shared living arrangements, social commitments, and mutual long-term plans. The processing timeframe can vary depending on the quality and completeness of the documents provided, as well as the Department of Home Affairs’ current workload. To avoid unnecessary delays, it’s important to ensure all required information is submitted clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner.
No, you don’t need to lodge a new application for the subclass 801 Partner (Permanent) visa if you’ve already been granted the temporary subclass 820 visa. However, you’re required to submit updated and comprehensive documentation demonstrating the ongoing and genuine nature of your relationship since the approval of your 820 visa. This updated documentation typically includes proof of shared finances, joint household responsibilities, social connections, mutual commitments, and any significant life events that have occurred during this period. At Migration Launchpad, we can guide you clearly through preparing and submitting the appropriate evidence to ensure your transition to permanent residency is smooth and successful.
The processing timeframe for the subclass 801 Partner (Permanent) visa typically ranges from approximately 6 to 12 months from your eligibility date, provided that all required documentation and supporting evidence have been fully and accurately submitted. However, processing times can vary based on factors such as the completeness of your documentation, the complexity of your personal circumstances, and departmental workload at the Department of Home Affairs. Ensuring you provide clear, comprehensive, and updated documentation can significantly reduce processing delays. Migration Launchpad will carefully review your documentation to ensure completeness and accuracy, facilitating the most efficient processing possible.
Yes, your partner can still potentially sponsor you for a subclass 801 Partner (Permanent) visa even if they have previously sponsored another person. However, the Department of Home Affairs will closely review their sponsorship history to ensure compliance with relevant rules, limitations, and timeframes. Typically, Australian immigration regulations limit an individual to sponsoring a maximum of two partners over their lifetime, with a mandatory waiting period between sponsorships. If your partner has sponsored previously, their eligibility will be carefully assessed, and they may need to provide additional information or evidence to support your application. Migration Launchpad can assist in clarifying these sponsorship criteria, ensuring your partner fully meets all sponsorship requirements.
While you’re allowed to travel overseas temporarily during the processing of your subclass 801 Partner (Permanent) visa, your primary residence and main place of living must remain in Australia. Extended or indefinite periods overseas during processing could negatively impact your application, as they may raise questions regarding the genuine nature or continuity of your relationship and residence in Australia. If you need to travel internationally, ensure your trips are temporary, well-documented, and clearly linked to valid reasons. Migration Launchpad can advise you on managing travel effectively during this critical period, ensuring your residency requirements are clearly satisfied.
To successfully transition from your subclass 820 temporary partner visa to the subclass 801 Partner (Permanent) visa, you’ll need to provide updated, comprehensive evidence demonstrating the genuine and continuing nature of your relationship. Essential documentation typically includes:
Joint financial evidence: Bank statements, joint bills, leases, mortgages, and other financial commitments.
Shared household responsibilities: Evidence of living arrangements, household utility bills, rental agreements, or ownership documents.
Social evidence: Photos, invitations, statements from friends or family members, social media interactions, and details of joint attendance at events or social activities.
Mutual commitments: Documentation related to mutual wills, powers of attorney, beneficiary statements, insurance policies, or superannuation nominations.
Significant life events: Evidence of marriage certificates, birth certificates for shared children, adoption documentation, or joint property purchases.
At Migration Launchpad, we offer personalised guidance to ensure your evidence clearly demonstrates the authenticity and continuity of your relationship, making your transition to permanent residency smooth and successful.
Absolutely. Significant life events, such as marriage, the birth or adoption of children, joint purchases of property or assets, or other substantial shared commitments, can strongly enhance and strengthen your subclass 801 Partner (Permanent) visa application. These events provide powerful evidence of your genuine and continuing commitment, mutual interdependence, and long-term intention to remain together. Highlighting such milestones clearly within your application documentation can positively impact your assessment by immigration officials. Migration Launchpad will assist you in effectively presenting evidence of these important life events, significantly improving the quality and strength of your visa application.
