Partner Visa
Secure Your Future Together with the Australian Partner Visa
Overview of Australia Partner Visa
If you are willing to have your partner live in Australia permanently with you, you can apply for an onshore partner visa if your partner is in Australia or a partner visa subclass 309 or partner visa subclass 100 if your partner is outside of Australia.

This visa class is also one of the most wearisome and lengthy visas to apply for as it involves a lot of documentation and evidence throughout the relationship to be submitted by both the applicant and the sponsor.
