This visa, as its name suggests, enables married partners of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to enter and stay in Australia permanently. Married partners include same-sex partners as well as opposite-sex spouses. It is our responsibility at Aptech Visa to take care of obtaining this visa for you through careful evaluation, counselling, and visa application procedure.

Despite having three main subclasses, partner visas can be broadly divided into two categories: partner visas and visas for upcoming marriages. The kind of relationship you are in will determine the sort of visa you should apply for.

What are the Temporary and Permanent Partner Visas for Australia?

An Australian Spouse Visa is also known as an Australian Partner Visa. The Australian spouse who is the main candidate must be either an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or a citizen of New Zealand.
