Permanent Partner Visa (Offshore) – Subclass 100

The Permanent Partner Visa (Subclass 100) is available to applicants who already hold a Provisional Partner Visa (Subclass 309). This visa allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live permanently in Australia. Both heterosexual and same-sex couples are eligible to apply.

You can lodge the application whether you are inside or outside Australia at the time of applying. The Department of Home Affairs will assess your application to ensure that your relationship meets the requirements under Australian immigration law.
