The Subclass 100 Partner (Migrant) visa allows the de facto partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia permanently. This visa is generally available to those who already hold a Subclass 309 Partner (Provisional) visa.
Stay
- Permanently.
Cost
- The visa fee was covered when you initially applied for both the temporary and permanent partner visas.
Processing Times
- Processing times may vary and are based on recent applications. Processing for the permanent visa starts from your eligibility date, typically two years after applying for the combined Partner visas.
Benefits of the Subclass 100 Visa
With this visa, you can:
- Live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely.
- Access Medicare, Australia’s public healthcare scheme.
- Sponsor eligible family members to join you in Australia.
- Travel in and out of Australia for five years.
- If eligible, attend free English language classes through the Adult Migrant English Program.
- Apply for Australian citizenship if you meet eligibility criteria.
Eligibility
To be eligible for this visa, you must:
- Hold a temporary Partner (Provisional) visa (Subclass 309) or a Dependent Child visa (Subclass 445).
- Continue to be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with your sponsor.
- Meet any outstanding health or character requirements.
Additional Information
- Travel: This visa includes a five-year travel facility. After this period, you may need to apply for a Resident Return Visa (RRV) to maintain your travel rights.
- Family Members: Family members included in your initial Partner visa application can also be granted the Subclass 100. For any dependent children needing to be added, they should hold a Subclass 445 Dependent Child visa.
- Newborn Children: If you have a child after applying for this visa, you’ll need to notify the Department.
