The Partner Visa allows married (opposite-sex) and de facto (including same-sex) partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia. At NextGen Migration, we ensure a seamless application process, guiding you through each step with personalized support and expert advice.

The Partner Visa is available in two forms: temporary and permanent. Initially, applicants who meet the required legal criteria are granted a temporary visa. After meeting eligibility criteria, or after a certain period (often depending on the long-term relationship or children involved), a permanent visa may be granted.
This visa is specifically designed to allow partners (spouse or de facto partners, including same-sex partners) of Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens to live in Australia. Additionally, individuals engaged to be married may apply for the visa as part of their future plans to live in Australia with their Australian partner.
However, as the partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, you are not automatically eligible for permanent residency. If you wish to live permanently in Australia, you must first apply for a permanent visa and meet the legal criteria for its approval.
