In this special day, the editor wants to seek the welfare for the vast number of couples! Today, I would like to give you a summary of all Australian spouse visas! How do domestic couples end their long-distance relationships and come to Australia to live a shameless life? How do couples in Australia continue to sprinkle dog food? I`ll tell you everything in one article!
Especially in the context of Australia`s overall tightening of independent skilled immigrants, families, especially spousal immigrants, will be signed as long as the real relationship material is reliable, and there will be no situation where quotas cannot be left behind. Australian government actually wants its spouse to emigrate to Australia together, family reunion contributes to social stability, and young couples bring labor to Australia, not to mention the very expensive application fee (shut up quickly to tell you the truth!).? As long as you are real relationship, as long as you provide materials as required, there is no big problem.
First of all, we need to figure out the type of spouse signature. Spouse visas fall into two broad categories, namely, domestic or overseas applications:
- 300 (overseas application) fiancee or fiance visa
- 309 (overseas application) spouse temporary residence visa
- 100 (overseas application) spousal permanent residence visa
- 820 (domestic application) temporary residence visa for spouse
- 801 (domestic application) spousal permanent residence visa
Spouse visas for law marriage and de facto marriage are generally conducted in two phases:
- The first stage: temporary spouse visa (overseas Subclass309 / domestic Subclass820).
- Phase II: permanent spouse visa (overseas Subclass100 / domestic Subclass 801).
Usually, the applicant will first obtain a temporary spouse visa. You can`t apply for a permanent visa until you submit a temporary visa for two years. No matter what kind of visa it is, the most important thing is to prove that the relationship of both sides is real and in progress.
Below we divided into 300 fiance / wife visa, domestic spouse signed 820 / 801, overseas spouse signed 309 / 100, three parts for you to explain the Australian spouse visa in detail.
300 fiancy/wife visa.
A visa is issued for applicants who have been engaged to a guarantee and who intends to use the guarantee after arriving in Australia.
Once the visa is granted, the applicant will be granted a temporary residence visa for nine months, within which the applicant must register marry with the guarantee in Australia or other countries; After marry, you can apply for a spouse visa, and once the visa is granted, the applicant will receive a 2-year temporary residence visa of 820 or 309. after 2 years, the applicant will be evaluated again under the permanent residence visa regulations.
Upon approval of the assessment, a permanent visa for the or 100 spouse will be obtained. The basic process is as follows:
PR 300 (temporary)-> PR 300 married in Australia marry-> PR 820 (temporary)-> PR 801 (permanent residence)
300 Notes on temporary visa applications for unmarried couples outside Australia:
1. If you submit a 300th visa application, but before the visa is issued, you marry, you can apply to the Migration Board for replacement of a spouse visa;
2. After the visa is issued, you can go abroad or within the territory of marry, but the applicant must ensure that you have logged into Australia at least once with a 300th visa before marry;
3. If, within a period of nine months, the applicant fails to go to Australia with the spouse marry, the visa will be cancelled, or if the applicant enters the country but does not have the spouse marry, he will be expelled from the country;
4. In most cases, if you enter the country within a specified period of time, but marry with someone other than your spouse, your visa will also be cancelled and you will be deported;
5. Address or other change timely inform immigration, such as pregnancy, divorce, etc.
820 / 801 domestic spouse visa
First of all, let`s briefly introduce two visas: this is a "two-stage" visa suitable for Australian permanent resident, citizen (or eligible New Zealand citizen) guarantee in Australia their de facto partner or spouse applies for Australian permanent residence.
The first phase of the visa is 820visa, which is a temporary residence visa. If your spouse relationship still exists within two years of the submission of this visa, the applicant will receive an invitation to complete the visa application. After the 801 visa was issued, the applicant had the right of permanent residence.
If your spouse relationship ends during your 820 visa, the 820 visa will be cancelled. But if you have a 801visa and your spouse relationship no longer exists, the visa will not be affected.
In another case, if the two relationship have been longer (defined as a de facto partner or spouse for three years, or two years and have at least one child), the applicant may request an exemption from the issuance of an 820 temporary residence visa and a direct issuance of a permanent residence visa.
: the most important thing is that if the spouse relationship with the guarantee changes before the check-out of guarantee-terminating the spouse relationship, the immigration office must be informed of the situation.
At present, the 820TR trial time given by Australian officials is as follows:
That is to say, you will have to wait about two years to get an 820TR visa from 820.
Current Australian official 820TR visa application fee: $7160
At present, the 801PR visa trial time and application fee given by Australian officials are as follows:
Since you submitted 801, it will take about two years to win the PR.. The application fee is no longer required because it has been paid during the first stage of application for 820TR.
So, what materials do you need to apply for an 820 / 801 visa?
1. Relationship statement, our commonly known love letter or love resume, including:
- How, when and where to meet for the first time

- The terms of your will
- Letters and phone bills show proof of contact when you are separated
The above documents, whether marry or de facto cohabitation, are required to be provided. Next, according to the marriage status, we prepare different material proof.
1. marry
The situation of marry is not repeated, marry certificate needs to be provided. If it is marry in Australia, a horizontal version of the signed marry certificate will be obtained on the day of marry registration, but this document is not an official Australian marry certificate. Australia`s formal marry certificate is a vertical marry certificate that needs to be obtained from the registry or mailed after registration. If it is marry outside Australia, it needs official certification, and if it is not an English document, it also needs to be translated in English. Like China`s marry certificate, general notarized marry certificate, there will be a page of English translation.
2. Factual cohabitation
Documents certifying de facto cohabitation relationship provide at least one of the following:
- Certify that you have at least 12 months of relationship before applying for this visa
- If you have registered de facto cohabitation relationship with Australian authorities (such as birth, death and marriage registries), please provide a certificate of registration.
- If your relationship is less than 12 months, please provide one of the following:
- Prove that your partner has a permanent humanitarian visa, and that your de facto cohabitation relationship existed before it was signed, and that you declared relationship less than 12 months before your visa was signed.
- Visa applicants have convincing and compassionate reasons
309 visa for overseas spouse
The main difference between 309 visa and 820 visa is that the applicant has not crossed the bridge during the waiting time outside Australia, and the waiting period is relatively long. And because applicants and guarantee people may be relationship from different places, spouse materials are not easy to provide. In this case, we usually suggest that it is better for two individuals to have marry certificates, both in Australia and in China (China marry certificates also need to provide notarization) can be used as strong proof. Prove that the relationship of the two individuals is permanent and persistent.
So in addition to the marry certificate, what other materials can the 309 visa provide as proof of the spouse`s relationship? Here, the compass provides you with some ideas and examples.
The first is the chat records and phone records of two people during different places. This part is proof of the usual contact between the two individuals. Chat records can be social app sweeeet conversations, print out some of the more representative and attach translations, it is best to have some sweeter little names or loveyou, which can abuse dogs. Call records and video records can also be saved or printed as proof of contact between couples in different places.
The second is the proof that two people travel together. The beautiful scenery and memory left behind during the trip can be presented in the form of photo. There are also two plane tickets to play together, hotel reservation records, tickets and medallion to tourist attractions can be provided. This not only leaves some marks and memories for your trip, but also provides proof for subsequent visa applications.
Common property. Some marry couples can also offer joint home purchase contracts and real estate certificates. This part of the more valuable property is a strong proof of love for him / her on the real estate certificate plus her / his name!
These are important and easy to ignore remote spouse materials, and friends who plan or are applying for a 309 visa can refer to and collect them. The material similar to 820 / 801 will not be repeated.
At present, the 309 trial time and application fee given by Australian official website are as follows: 309 visa 15 / 20 months signed, visa fee $7160. 100 visas for 20 to 34 months, visa fees have been paid in 309, no need to pay again.
For a long time, and the two are in different places, is it possible to end the distance earlier and get visas? Yes! If:
- The applicant and the guarantee have been married relationship for more than three years, or the de facto husband and wife relationship
- The applicant and the guarantee have been married for more than two years, relationship, and have a child.
- The applicant`s spouse holds a protection visa or PR, obtained on the basis of humanitarian procedures, and the applicant and spouse`s relationship has been established before and has been certified to the Migration Board.
In these cases, it is possible to shorten the trial time and obtain PR directly. When you submit your application, you have to provide all the spouse materials for more than two or three years, so that you have the opportunity to get permanent residence directly.
A few points worth noting
Is it impossible for a spouse to sign a long-distance / heterosexual relationship?
The primary approval condition for a spouse visa is to prove that the fact marriage or spouse relationship between the guarantee person and the applicant is true and lasts for at least 12 months. So whether it`s long-distance or heterosexual, as long as you can show real and reliable materials (phone records, chat records, etc.) to prove your relationship, nothing is a problem.
If the visa is about to expire before you get the permanent residence visa, can you stay in Australia?
Yes, the Australian Immigration Service will give you a bridge signature as a transition.

Major reform
At the end of 2018, Australia`s government announced a reform of spouse visas, requiring a review of the qualifications of guarantee people before they can apply for visas. Spouse guarantee needs to meet the conditions to get guarantee qualification, and once the guarantee qualification is not passed, do not think of guarantee anyone else. Separate consideration of guarantee qualifications and applicants` applications is bound to increase the entire visa application time. For specific cases, you can stamp links:
Spouse sign or face major reform! Guarantee qualification and visa trial or separation! The application fee will be paid in stages.
Our suggestion is that since the regulations have not yet been declared in force (not yet in force! It`s not working yet! It`s not working yet! Say the important thing three times!), so students who intend to submit a spouse visa, after saving enough evidence of cohabitation materials, please submit it as soon as possible! Don`t wait! don`t wait!
Australia`s government has always attached importance to the role of the family and the positive impact of family reunion, so spousal visa reform will have a place anyway. Independent skilled immigrants are now on a difficult road, and if you meet love in Australia, it`s good to stay for love. 520, the guide needle wishes everyone to have the lover to have the family at the end of the day!
