Australian partner visa: Things applicants will receive
For those whose applications are successful, the Department of Home Affairs will issue written notification containing three specific pieces of information:
- The visa grant number,
- The date the visa comes into effect,
- The conditions attached to the visa.
Applicants are advised to keep a copy of this decision for their records.
What happens if the application is refused:
Unsuccessful applicants will also receive written communication from the department, which will include the reasons behind the refusal. Importantly, the notification will state whether the applicant holds the right to seek a review of the decision.
One detail the government has made clear is that application fees are non-refundable. Regardless of the outcome, any fees paid at the time of lodging a permanent Partner visa application will not be returned to the applicant if the visa is refused.
The permanent Partner visa, also known as the Subclass 801, is designed for people in a genuine relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. It is typically the second stage of a two-step partner visa process, following an initial temporary Partner visa.
