Partner Visa Australia Assistance
Don't Worry, We’ll Assist Your Case
Bay Migration provides clear partner visa guidance for couples who want to build their future together in Australia. Whether you are married, in a de facto relationship, applying from inside Australia, applying from overseas, or planning to marry your prospective spouse, the right pathway depends on your relationship, location, evidence and visa history.
Our team helps clients understand their partner visa options, prepare documents carefully, and avoid common application mistakes. Visa decisions are mainly made by the Department of Home Affairs, so approval cannot be guaranteed. Our role is to give you practical guidance, honest advice, and organised support before and during the application process.
Partner Visa Guidance for Couples in Australia and Overseas
Every partner visa application is different, and the most suitable pathway depends on your relationship, where you are applying from, and individual circumstances. Whether you are applying as the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, or planning to marry your partner in Australia, understanding the correct visa pathway is an important first step.
Bay Migration can help you review your situation, understand which visa pathway may be suitable, and prepare a stronger application with clear relationship evidence. We support clients across Australia and overseas, with guidance tailored to their circumstances.
Choose the Right Partner Visa Pathway
Not every partner visa application is the same. Some applicants are already in Australia. Others apply from overseas. Some are progressing from a temporary stage to a permanent stage. Others are engaged and planning to marry before applying for a partner visa.
Use the options below to find the page that best matches your situation.
Australian Partner Visa Options
For applicants in Australia who are married to, or in a de facto relationship with, an eligible Australian partner and need temporary onshore partner visa guidance.
For eligible applicants moving from the temporary Partner Visa 820 stage toward the permanent onshore partner visa stage with updated relationship evidence.
For applicants outside Australia who are married to, or in a de facto relationship with, an eligible Australian partner and want offshore partner visa guidance.
For eligible applicants progressing from the temporary offshore Partner Visa 309 stage toward the permanent Partner Visa 100 stage.
For people who are engaged to an eligible Australian partner and want to come to Australia to marry before applying for a partner visa.
Spouse Visa and De Facto Partner Visa Support
Partner visa applications can involve married couples, de facto partners, and couples with different living, travel, cultural or family circumstances. The important point is not just the relationship label, but whether the relationship can be properly explained and supported with relevant evidence.
Bay Migration helps clients understand what may be required for their situation, including relationship history, shared commitments, financial arrangements, household evidence, social recognition and future plans.
Partner Visa Evidence Matters
Partner visa evidence should show that the relationship is genuine and continuing. The exact evidence will depend on the couple’s circumstances, the visa pathway, the length of the relationship, whether the couple has lived together, and whether there are any complex issues.
Weak, missing or poorly organised evidence can create problems. Bay Migration can help you identify gaps, organise documents, prepare clear explanations and present your application in a more structured way.

FAQs
Which partner visa should I apply for in Australia?
The right partner visa pathway depends on where you are located, your relationship status, your partner’s eligibility, and whether you are applying for a temporary, permanent or prospective marriage pathway. If you are in Australia, subclass 820/801 may be relevant. If you are outside Australia, subclass 309/100 may apply.
Can de facto couples apply for a partner visa in Australia?
A de facto relationship may be considered for a partner visa, but the relationship must be supported with appropriate evidence. This may include information about living arrangements, financial commitments, social recognition, communication, shared responsibilities and the history of the relationship.
Can Bay Migration guarantee my partner visa approval?
No. Visa decisions are mainly made by the Department of Home Affairs. Bay Migration does not guarantee visa approval. We provide professional guidance, help you understand your options, prepare your application carefully and reduce avoidable mistakes where possible.
