What Is The Australian Partner Visa Process Time?
You’re eligible to apply for a Partner Visa if you are in a relationship with an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen. Below is a look at the processing time for the various categories of partner visas.
Processing Time For Different Categories Of Partner Visas
There are two main partner visa applications available for partner visas:
The 309/100 Partner Visas (Offshore application)
820/801 Partner Visas (Onshore application)
While it is possible the government might prioritize onshore applications owing to the current global pandemic, you’ll still have to wait for a long time. The current government processing period for Offshore Partner Visa Subclass 309 is 18 to 23 months. For Onshore Partner Visa Subclass 820/801, the wait time ranges between 23 and 28 months. Finally, for Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300), the wait time is between 18 and 29 months.
Blockage In The Application
With the rise in fraudulent applications, there has been an increase in application rejection. For instance, in the migration year 2018-2019, 5.5% of the Onshore Partner Visa (Subclass 820) applications, 9.8% of Offshore Partner Visas (subclass 300) applications, and 16% of Prospective Marriage Visas (subclass 309) applications were rejected.
Moreover, with reports of fake marriage syndicates prevalent across Australian media, The Australian Department of Home Affairs thoroughly scrutinizes every application. Making errors of commission or omission in your application process can get your application declined, affecting your current and future applications.
