Partner visa 820 allows onshore partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens to live, work, and study in Australia while awaiting the permanent 801 grant. Additional Information: Visa 820Source: https://vemvisa.com/en/partner-visa-820-801/VEM highlights that to qualify, the sponsor must be eligible and the relationship proven as genuine and ongoing. Married applicants need a legally recognised marriage; de facto partners typically must show 12 months’ cohabitation unless an exemption applies. Health and character checks are mandatory, and applicants must be in Australia at lodgement and decision.Documentary evidence should cover shared living arrangements, finances, social recognition, and household responsibilities. Useful items include joint lease or mortgage, combined bank accounts, utility bills with both names, photos together, and statutory declarations from friends or family (Form 888). Police clearances and medical examinations are required for most applicants and dependents aged 16+.Processing often takes 17–24 months; complex or incomplete cases may exceed 24 months. Fees generally start from AUD 9,365 for primary applicants without prior Subclass 300, with additional costs for dependents and health checks. While waiting, holders of subclass 820 can work and access Medicare; after 2 years, eligibility for subclass 801 may lead to permanent residency benefits, including access to domestic higher education fees and a pathway to citizenship.For strong applications, organise evidence into clear categories: identity, relationship proof (household, financial, social, commitment), character documents, and dependents’ paperwork. Use precise dates, signed statements, and corroborating third-party declarations to strengthen credibility. Consider registered migration agent support to navigate complex cases and respond to Department requests promptly.Contact VEM for expert preparation and ongoing support.Vietnam Office: SAV.6-03.06 The Sun Avenue, 28 Mai Chi Tho Street, Binh Trung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamAustralia Office: Level 24–25, 108 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000, AustraliaVietnam Hotline: 0909 112 310Australia Hotline: (+61) 865 578 833Website: https://vemvisa.comEmail: [email protected] more:https://vemvisavietnam.blogspot.com/2026/06/visa-820.htmlhttps://sites.google.com/view/vemvisa/cac-loai-visa-uc/visa-hon-nhan-uc/visa-820https://vemvisa.wixsite.com/vemvisavn/post/visa-820https://br.pinterest.com/pin/616711742771958029https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7471096549062770688/
