Australia Partner Migration Visa (Subclass 820 / 801) Training

Course Description

Australia's partner migration programme grants temporary then permanent residence to spouses and de facto partners of Australian citizens, permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens. The two-stage system begins with the temporary Subclass 820 onshore grant, transitioning to the permanent Subclass 801 after a two-year waiting period assessed on the genuineness of the ongoing relationship. This course covers relationship eligibility, sponsor requirements, evidence-building across four categories, and recent policy updates under the Department of Home Affairs giving consultants a thorough command of Australia's most-used family visa pathway.
