The Partner (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 309) is a temporary visa, while the Partner Visa (Subclass 100) is a permanent visa. Migrants will apply for the Subclass 309 Visa and, subsequently, the Subclass 100 Visa.
Yes, applicants can include immediate family members in their Subclass 309 visa application. It is not possible to add family members after getting the visa.
Applicants can include dependent children who do not hold a Subclass 309 Visa in their application but must do so before Australia decides on the visa application. Those children must have a Dependent Child Visa (Subclass 445).
Applicants must also let the Department of Home Affairs know about any children born after they’ve applied for their visa.
Migrants can apply for Australian citizenship four years after getting a Subclass 100 Visa if they meet the eligibility criteria.
