Subclass 309 Partner Provisional Visa
Partner (Provisional) visa
This visa lets the de facto partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia temporarily. Getting this visa is the first step towards a permanent Partner visa (subclass 100).
The Subclass 309 Partner Provisional Visa is a gateway that permits Australian citizens or permanent residents to live together in Australia with their partners. In this blog post, we’ll look at the Subclass 309 visa, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, and benefits.
Understanding the Subclass 309 Partner Provisional Visa
The Subclass 309 visa is intended to reunite couples who have been separated owing to geographical constraints. This visa is a temporary step towards acquiring a permanent visa in the future.
In essence, it allows the visa holder to enter and remain in Australia temporarily while their permanent visa application (Subclass 100) is being processed.
Eligibility Criteria
Before beginning the application procedure, it is critical to understand the Subclass 309 visa eligibility requirements. You must meet the following requirements to be eligible:
- Relationship Status: You must be in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident who is the applicant’s sponsor.
- Separation Requirement: If you are married or in a de facto relationship, you must have been together for at least 12 months prior to applying for the visa. There are several exceptions for couples who can demonstrate strong reasons for not satisfying this condition.
- Health and Character Checks: Both the applicant and their sponsored partner must meet the Australian government’s health and character requirements.
- No Prior Visa Violations: If you’ve previously held a visa and violated its terms, your application may be denied.
The Application Process
There are many stages to applying for a Subclass 309 visa:
- Sponsorship: The sponsoring partner (an Australian citizen or permanent resident) must submit a sponsorship application establishing their commitment to the relationship and ability to assist the applicant in Australia.
- Visa Application: Once the sponsorship is authorised, the candidate can apply for a visa. This entails giving proof of the partnership, as well as health exams, character checks, and other pertinent documentation.
- Assessment: The Australian immigration authorities will review the application and grant the Subclass 309 visa if everything is in order.
Benefits of the Subclass 309 Visa
Reunification: The principal benefit of the Subclass 309 visa is that it allows partners to live together in Australia while their permanent visa is being processed.
Work and Study: Visa holders are permitted to work and study in Australia while in residence.
Healthcare: Visa holders have access to Medicare, Australia’s public healthcare system.
Path to Permanent Residency: If the relationship meets the criteria, visa holders can apply for the Subclass 100 visa, which gives permanent residency.

We are very thankful to Mr. Murali and Mangalath Immigration for their excellent service till the Visa grant of SC190.Initially, I was trying my migration process through one of the migration consultancies in Chennai. I could not claim the experience point of 10 in the skill assessment because my organization refused to provide the expected experience letter. The immigration team did not consider the alternate supporting documents submitted for the same.

Unexpectedly, I came to know the person who took service from Mr. Murali, and she strongly recommended him.Mr. Murali and Mangalath Immigration is the “third consultancy” for us, and we approached him as a final try.

They provide timely updates for all the emails, and I never made any follow-ups. They are very professional and easily approachable. The entire process was transparent and concise at each stage. He ensured everything was correct before submission to get through without any blocker/delay. He was very clear about the process.Once again, we appreciate all the efforts from Mr. Murali Mangalath and his team.I am happy and very much satisfied with their services.

I am Srinivasan. I received SA 491 grant recently. I was referred to Mr. Murali by my friend and former colleague Mr. Karthik.I have lived in USA for 10+ years and was very skeptical about migrating to Australia initially considering my age. Immigrating to Australia is a complex process.My first communication with Mr. Murali got me convinced that I have found the right contact to address my immigration concerns. He guided me on the correct visa that i need to apply for. He also provided me a contact who would help me with the correct guidance to crack PTE to get maximum points from it.I also would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Murali for being very patient in answering my questions (sometimes silly and basic) and always reassured me that everything will be fine throughout the whole journey. During the course of the journey i was getting into an uncertain mode whether i would get the grant or not, and Mr. Murali again assured me that the grants will flow out soon. Their charges for the services were also nominal.Mr. Murali was very practical in his answers with me which always kept me afloat through the entire process when my thoughts about the grant happening were fading away and i was almost ready to forget about it. In short, Mr. Murali was "the" man for me during crisis.I will definitely recommend Mr. Murali and Mangalath Immigration Services India and Mangalath Immigration Australia for a transparent, smooth and assured process for anyone desiring to get an Australian visa.Again Thank you Mr. Murali for the services, guidance and patience for keeping my mind at ease
