Apply in Australia
The onshore partner pathway starts with subclass 820 and leads to the permanent subclass 801 stage.
Australian partner visa evidence guides, stage by stage
Clear, practical pages for subclasses 820, 801, 309, 100 and the Prospective Marriage visa 300 — focused on organising relationship evidence, not giving immigration advice.
Official information checked 1 October 2026
Partner Evidence is an independent software product. It does not choose a visa, check eligibility or replace the Department of Home Affairs, ImmiAccount or professional immigration advice.
Read the current Home Affairs pageFive visa subclasses. Three connected pathways.
The right official visa page depends on where the applicant applies and whether the relationship is at a prospective, temporary or permanent stage. These guides explain the evidence-organisation task for each pathway and link straight to Home Affairs for the rules.
Apply outside Australia
The offshore partner pathway starts with subclass 309 and leads to the permanent subclass 100 stage.
Plan to marry in Australia
Subclass 300 is for a prospective spouse. After marriage, the next partner-visa pathway is the onshore 820 and 801 application.

The visa changes. Your relationship history should stay connected.
Photos, conversations, shared documents and milestones accumulate across years. A single case lets both partners organise that history once, keep adding to it and export a selection when they need it.
Partner Evidence helps you organise information and documents you provide. It does not assess visa eligibility, determine whether your evidence is sufficient or provide personalised immigration advice. For immigration advice, consider consulting a registered migration agent or Australian legal practitioner. Disclaimer
