Family Visa Pathways — Overview

Australia offers a range of family visas depending on your relationship to an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The most common family visa pathways include:

Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801 — Onshore) — For de facto partners and spouses who are already in Australia.
Partner Visa (Subclass 309/100 — Offshore) — For partners applying from outside Australia.
Child Visa (Subclass 101/802) — For dependent children of Australian citizens or permanent residents.
Parent Visa (Subclass 103/804) — For parents of Australian citizens or permanent residents.
Contributory Parent Visa (Subclass 143/864) — Faster processing for parents willing to pay a higher application charge.

Key Requirements

Sponsorship — Most family visas require an eligible Australian citizen, permanent resident, or New Zealand citizen to sponsor the applicant. OVEC can advise on sponsorship eligibility and obligations.

Relationship evidence — For partner visas, you must demonstrate a genuine ongoing relationship. OVEC helps clients compile the right evidence across financial, social, household, and commitment categories.

Health and character — All family visa applicants must meet health and character requirements. OVEC can advise on how to address any concerns before lodgement.
