Expert Partner & Spouse Visa Services
Your relationship is the most important part of your life. Navigating the journey to live together in Australia shouldn’t be a source of stress. The Australian Partner Visa is one of the most complex, document-intensive, and scrutinized visa applications. Success depends on proving the genuine and continuing nature of your relationship to the Department of Home Affairs—a process that requires meticulous evidence and a deep understanding of immigration law.
At GlobalNest Study Solution, we manage this deeply personal journey with the compassion and legal expertise it deserves. We are specialists in Australian partner migration. We guide you through every step, from our initial consultation to your permanent residency, ensuring your application is decision-ready and has the highest possible chance of success.
Which Partner Visa is Right for You?
Your location (inside or outside Australia) and relationship status (married, de facto, or engaged) will determine the correct visa pathway.
1. Onshore Partner Visa
This is for applicants who are in Australia on another valid temporary visa (like a student or visitor visa).
- Temporary: The first stage, which grants you temporary residency. You can live, work, and study in Australia while your application is processed.
- Permanent: The second stage, processed approximately two years after your 820 application, which leads to permanent residency.
2. Offshore Partner Visa
This is for applicants who are outside Australia at the time of application.
- Temporary: The first stage. Once granted, you can travel to Australia to live, work, and study.
- Permanent: The second stage, leading to permanent residency, which is assessed around two years after your 309 application.
3. Prospective Marriage Visa
This is for applicants outside Australia who are engaged to be married to their Australian partner.
- Key Features: This is a 9-month temporary visa that allows you to travel to Australia.
- Requirement: You must marry your partner (in or outside Australia) and then apply for the Onshore Partner Visa before the 300 visa expires.
The "Genuine Relationship" Test: Our Core Expertise
A Partner Visa is not just a form; it’s a story. Your application will be refused if you fail to provide sufficient evidence that your relationship is genuine, continuing, and mutually exclusive.
Our expert team will help you compile a powerful, decision-ready evidence file covering the “four pillars” of your relationship:
- Financial Aspects: We help you gather evidence of shared finances, such as joint bank accounts, shared bills, joint assets, or proof of money transfers.
- Social Aspects: We guide you on how to collect Form 888s (statutory declarations from friends and family), joint invitations, travel records, and photos that prove your relationship is known to others.
- Nature of the Household: We help you demonstrate how you live together (or did, if separated by borders), including shared household responsibilities, mail addressed to you both, and rental agreements.
- Nature of the Commitment: This includes your “relationship statement” (a detailed history of your relationship), evidence of communication while apart, and your knowledge of each other’s personal circumstances.
Why Choose GlobalNest Study Solution for Your Partner Visa?
- Unmatched Expertise: Partner visas are our specialty. We are masters of the complex legal criteria and evidence requirements.
- Strategic Application Building: We don’t just “lodge” your visa. We build a comprehensive legal submission that tells your story and preemptively answers any questions the case officer might have.
- Compassionate & Clear Guidance: We understand this is a personal and often stressful time. We provide clear, honest, and supportive communication at every stage.
Long-Term Partner: We manage both the temporary and permanent stages of your application, ensuring a seamless journey from your first visa to your permanent residency.

Frequently asked Questions
We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients ask. If you don’t find your answer here, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
-
What is the "12-month rule" for de facto partner visas?
-
How much does a Partner Visa cost and how long does it take?
The Australian Partner Visa is one of the most expensive visas offered by the government, with application fees running into thousands of dollars. Processing times are also very long and change frequently, often taking over a year or more. We will provide you with the most current fee and processing time estimates during your consultation and, more importantly, ensure your application is lodged perfectly to avoid any unnecessary and costly delays.
-
What if I am in Australia on a visa with a "No Further Stay" condition?
A "No Further Stay" condition (like 8503, 8534, or 8535) on your current visa will, in most cases, prevent you from applying for a Partner Visa while you are in Australia. You would typically need to leave Australia and apply for an offshore visa (Subclass 309). However, there are very limited circumstances where this condition can be waived. This is a highly complex legal matter, and you should contact us immediately for an urgent, confidential assessment of your situation.
