What is a Partner visa – Subclass 309/100?
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 benefits of a Subclass 309 visa
| Subclass 309 | Subclass 100 | |
| Residence benefits | Live with your spouse in Australia while the Subclass 100 is being processed. |

After getting to know each other, you realize the other person is the one and you want to spend the rest of your life with them. VEM knows that a Subclass 309/100 will complete your happiness together.
However, we’d also like you to understand that even though the feeling is genuine, the possibilities of getting a visa rejection are quite high.
If you and your spouse can’t be together right now due to COVID-19 then how can you apply for a Subclass 309?
Or if you’ve provided evidence of your relationship, the Australian government may find it not persuasive enough. What should you do when this situation happens?
All you need to do is contact VEM for accurate and specific advice for your case.
Your romantic lives are precious and special and worthwhile. That’s why we want to assist you in overcoming the visa application process so that you and your spouse can soon reconcile.
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.
| Types of charges and fees | The amount of money (AUD) |
| For the visa applicant | AUD7,850 |
| For the accompany member |
|
| Others: health, criminal record, biometrics | Approximately AUD300 per person |
Note: The fees listed above do not include a 1.4% surcharge.
You won’t get a refund if your visa application is refused. Not to mention that all of your time and effort would go to waste. Therefore, you must prepare your documents with extra care to avoid this situation.
Processing times of Subclass 309 visa
Your visa processing times will depend greatly on the accuracy of your documents and papers. Specifically,
| Subclass 309 | Subclass 100 | |
| 75% of applications are processed within | 21 months | 19 months |
| 90% of applications are processed within | 31 months | 29 months |
Problems relating to papers are the main reasons why couples can’t be together. For more than 10 years of working in Australian migration services, VEM has been approached by several customers with a variety of cases.
VEM sees that those mistakes in the visa documents can be avoidable. But if not fixed immediately, it can prolong the processing times. After working with VEM, many clients have said choosing VEM was the right decision. Their waiting time is usually shorter than the standard time on the official Australian Government website.
During COVID-19, the Australian Government has stopped visa grants for Subclass 600 visa. They start approving long-term visas such as Partner visas instead.
But Prime Minister Scott Morrison has just announced all international visitors, including tourists, would be allowed to return to Australia from 21st February, 2022!
Mr Phong Cao (CEO of VEM) who is a member of the Australian Migration Institute (MIA) and he’s also licensed by the Australian Government (MARA) has advised clients to apply for Partner visas as soon as possible.
As a result, these clients have received their visas sooner than expected.
