How the Partner visa 100 works

  • Typically, the Partner visa 100 follows the temporary Partner visa Subclass 309, allowing applicants to transition smoothly from temporary to permanent residency. This two-stage process is designed to confirm the relationship’s stability over time, adding credibility and security to the visa approval pathway.
  • To qualify, applicants must show evidence of a genuine, ongoing relationship backed by documentation that reflects financial interdependence, shared social lives and mutual household responsibilities. These requirements ensure that only bona fide, committed partnerships are recognised, strengthening the applicant’s case for permanent residency.
  • Processing times for the Subclass 100 visa can vary based on individual circumstances, but preparing a thorough, detailed application often leads to quicker processing and more predictable outcomes.
  • Once granted, the 100 visa provides extensive benefits, including unrestricted work and study rights, access to Medicare and a clear path to Australian citizenship. These privileges are significant in helping visa holders fully integrate and build a stable life in Australia.
  • Applicants may also include dependent children or stepchildren in their visa application, facilitating a straightforward process for families to secure permanent residency together. This inclusive provision means families can settle in Australia without needing multiple visa applications — fostering a unified approach to family migration.

The Partner visa 100 application process

  1. Eligibility verification — Confirm that you meet all necessary criteria, including holding a Partner visa Subclass 309, maintaining a stable and genuine relationship and adhering to health and character standards.
  2. Collection of relationship evidence — Gather essential evidence that proves the legitimacy of your relationship. This should include financial documents, proof of shared responsibilities and records of social engagement, which demonstrate a lasting and committed relationship.
  3. Health and police clearances — Schedule a health examination with a registered provider and submit a police clearance for each country you have lived in to meet Australia’s health and character requirements.
  4. Application and fee payment — Submit your Partner visa 100 application through your ImmiAccount, ensuring all required documentation is uploaded. Pay the visa application fee to complete this step.
  5. Decision and notification — After reviewing your application and supporting materials, the Department of Home Affairs will make a decision. If successful, you’ll be granted permanent residency through the Partner visa 100.

FAQs

How long does it take to transition from Partner visa 309 to Partner visa 100?

Typically, applicants wait two years from the date they applied for the combined Partner visa 309 and 100 before becoming eligible for the permanent partner visa 100. Processing times vary, but a complete application with thorough documentation can help expedite the process. You may qualify for faster processing if you were in a long-term relationship or your sponsor held specific visas.

Can I travel outside Australia while my Partner visa 100 application is being processed?

Yes, you can travel outside Australia while your Partner visa 100 application is under review. Your temporary Partner visa 309 allows you to leave and re-enter Australia as needed until a decision on your permanent visa is made. However, ensure all contact details are updated with the Department of Home Affairs to avoid disruptions in your application processing.

Can I apply for citizenship after obtaining a Partner visa 100?

Yes, once you hold the permanent Partner visa Subclass 100, you may become eligible to apply for Australian citizenship. Generally, you must have lived in Australia on a valid visa for the past four years, with the last 12 months as a permanent resident. Other eligibility factors include good character and an understanding of Australian values and laws.

The Immigration Gurus made the journey to permanent residency a breeze. Because I work and live in a remote area of Australia, I haven’t had the chance to meet the Guru team in person yet.
