Subclass 100

Partner Visa – Subclass 100 (Permanent)

Establish Your Life in Australia Permanently

The Subclass 100 Partner Visa represents the permanent stage of the offshore partner visa process. It is assessed after the grant of the Partner Visa (Subclass 309) and confirms that the relationship between the applicant and sponsor continues to meet Australia’s partner visa requirements.

This visa allows partners to move beyond temporary status and settle in Australia with long-term security.

Eligibility for Subclass 100

Applicants may be considered for this visa if they:

• Hold or have held a Subclass 309 Partner Visa
• Remain in a genuine, committed, and ongoing relationship with their sponsoring partner
• Continue to be sponsored by the same eligible partner
• Meet Australian health and character standards at the time of assessment

Each application is assessed individually based on updated relationship evidence.

Ongoing Relationship Review

At the permanent stage, authorities reassess the relationship to confirm its continuity and authenticity. This may include updated information relating to:

• Shared financial responsibilities
• Long-term household arrangements
• Social and family integration
• Commitment to a shared future in Australia

The assessment focuses on the present state of the relationship rather than past circumstances alone.

What the Subclass 100 Visa Provides

Once granted, this visa allows the holder to:

• Live in Australia permanently without time limitations
• Work and study freely
• Access healthcare and services available to permanent residents
• Sponsor eligible family members
• Travel in and out of Australia without restriction
• Progress toward Australian citizenship when eligibility requirements are met

Rights and benefits are subject to Australian laws and policy settings.

Important Points to Note

• Permanent visa assessment occurs after the provisional stage
• Relationship status must remain unchanged and genuine
• Applicants must comply with all visa conditions
• Processing timelines vary based on individual circumstances

Providing accurate and up-to-date information is essential during this stage.
