Partner Visa: Apply with Australian or New Zealander partner. What’s the difference?
16 Dec 2021 by RC Migration
To apply for a Couple Visa it is essential that your spouse is a citizen or permanent resident of Australia or a citizen of New Zealand. However, for each case there is a completely different pathway:
Australian Couple
If your partner is a citizen or permanent resident of Australia, you can apply for a Partner Visa 820, which is a temporary visa that will allow you to apply for permanent residence through Partner Visa 801.
The cost of applying for these visas is $ 7,850 and your Permanent Residence will take 2 to 4 years.
New Zealander couple
If your partner is a New Zealand citizen, you will have to apply for the 461 New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship Visa.
This visa is Temporary for 5 years and does NOT take you to Permanent Residence, although you can renew this visa at the end of the 5 years. The cost of this visa is $ 370 and the response time can last from 20 to 31 months.
