Subclass 309 visa
Subclass 309 visa is a provisional visa that allows you to stay in Australia until you are granted a Subclass 100 visa.
Subclass 100 visa
It’s a Partner (Migrant) visa for couples that have already held a temporary Partner visa (Subclass 309). This visa allows you to build a permanent life in Australia with your spouse.
Additionally, a Subclass 100 visa application can also be lodged at the same time as a Subclass 309. So that’s why people usually call it under a different name “A Subclass 309/100”

The cost of a of Subclass 309 visa
Australia requires you to apply for both Subclass 309 and Subclass 100 visas at the same time, therefore, this following fee is for both visas.

Client’s story
Congratulations to Ms. Thu Hoa Mai (a customer supported by VEM to apply for a subclass 309/100 Partner visa) who has just been granted a 100 visa!
VEM represented Ms. Hoa to submit subclass 309/100 marriage visa on June 16, 2021. Surprisingly, on March 29, 2022 (after about 9 months), Ms. Hoa was directly granted a subclass 100 permanent resident visa.
According to the Australian Immigration Department, the processing time for visa application 309/100 Australian Department of Immigration announced at that time was approximately 21-28 months.
Before applying for a visa at VEM, Ms. Hoa’s journey to apply for an Australian marriage visa encountered many difficulties:
- She used to use the services of an unreliable company, so she was banned from applying for an Australian tourist visa (subclass 600) for three years.
- Almost none of the agents accepted to do a Partner visa application for her.
Once again, congratulations to Ms. Thu Hoa Mai, Ha (her daughter) on becoming a permanent resident of Australia to settle down with Mr. Barry Wayne Hodges!
“We thought it would be maybe 6 or 12 months before we’re together again. But VEM facilitated everything really quickly, really simply”, said Mr. Macpherson James Sumner, VEM’s newest client.
After getting the Subclass 309 visa and settling down in Queensland, Australia, they sent a message to anybody who is going to apply for a Partner visa. Check out their experience that may be useful for you!
