What is the 100 Visa Australia?

The 100 visa Australia which is also known as the Partner visa. This is the second stage of the partner visa process for applicants who are outside Australia. It allows the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen or permanent resident. To be qualify for the 100 partner visa, you must first have hold a 309 visa Australia which is the temporary visa granted at the initial phase of your partner visa journey.

After the 2 years from your original application, the Department of Home Affairs will investigate whether your relationship is still genuine and ongoing. If you fulfill all the visa conditions then you’ll be granted the Australia visa subclass 100. It’s gives you permanent residency rights. This means you can live, work and study in Australia with no restrictions and you can also have access to public service like healthcare and a pathway to citizenship.

The subclass 100 Australia visa is perfect for couples who are committed and want to together in Australia. It’s a major step forward after holding the subclass Australia visa 309 and leads to more stability and security for your relationship and life plans.

frequently asked questions

You can learn more from our asked questions

Processing times for the subclass 309 visa Australia vary depending on your country of application and application quality. On average, 50% of applications are processed in 11–12 months, 75% in 17–18 months, and 90% may take up to 22–24 months. Quality, completeness, and country-specific volume play significant roles in wait times.

Yes! Once your 309 provisional visa is granted, you can live, work, and study in Australia without restrictions. You’re also eligible to enrol in Medicare. However, you must fund your education yourself—no government study loans.

Delays often stem from:

  • Incomplete documentation, especially for relationship evidence or health/character checks.

  • Health or character follow-ups, such as additional medical tests or background investigations.

  • High application volumes, especially from specific countries.

  • Changes in your personal circumstances (e.g., new address, relationship status) without timely updates

You’re not required to hire one, but a registered MARA migration agent can greatly help. They ensure your application is “decision-ready”, reducing mistakes and the likelihood of delays or refusals. Statistics show agent-prepared applications have a higher success rate and GIEC GLOBAL UK is MARA Registered.

If your Australia partner visa offshore status holder splits from their sponsor before the subclass 100 permanent stage, the Subclass 309 visa may be cancelled. Exceptions exist for genuine breakups due to domestic violence or if there are children involved. Always inform the Department immediately if your situation changes.

Absolutely. Immigration officers often request further information during processing. Responding promptly and uploading new evidence every 3–6 months—like updated bank statements, travel photos, or lease documents—can keep your file current and support your case.
