What’s the Difference Between 820 and 801 Partner Visas?
A partner visa is one of the most desired visas in Australia. If you are married to an Australian citizen or have a de facto relationship with your Australian citizen spouse, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen of the same or opposite sex, a partner visa (801 and 802) allows you to live in Australia with your partner.
