The Australian Partner Visa in 60 seconds.

If you're in a relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen and want to stay in Australia together, you'll need a Partner Visa. Here's the short version.

820/801
The visa subclass

820 is the temporary visa (granted first). 801 is the permanent visa. You apply for both in one application. Around 2 years after your application date, the Department assesses your eligibility for the 801 and may request updated evidence.

Onshore
You must be in Australia

The applicant must be inside Australia when the visa is lodged and when the 820 is granted. You get a Bridging Visa to stay, work, and access Medicare while you wait.

$9,365
Government application fee

Paid directly to the Department of Home Affairs when you lodge. Non-refundable. Plus health checks, police clearances, and translations on top.

How couples lodge today

You could go it alone. Most couples want a better option.

Going fully DIY from scratch is possible but risky - a $9,365 fee with no guidance. Hiring an agent costs thousands on top. Other DIY packs offer limited tools. Here's how PartnerPath AU compares.

Migration agent

$3,500–$7,000 + visa fee
  • Agent fees on top of the $9,365 visa fee
  • You still gather all your own evidence
  • You still write the relationship statement
  • Long wait times, often cookie-cutter advice
  • You don't learn the process, so you'll need them again at 801 stage

Other DIY visa packs

$800–$1,200+ one-off or time-limited
  • Mostly static PDFs and sample documents
  • No AI tools, no statement generator, no guided Q&A
  • No interactive app. No offline mode. No progress tracking
  • Some limit access to 90–120 days, then it expires
  • Higher price for less content and no ongoing updates

PartnerPath AU

$497 once, yours forever
  • Companion App with 21 guided modules, works offline, tracks progress
  • 9 editable templates + 5 annotated worked examples
  • AI Statement Generator drafts your relationship statement
  • 24 AI prompts built for partner visa evidence
  • Focused on 820/801 onshore. Nothing irrelevant

The alternative to PartnerPath

From scattered research to one trusted system.

Most couples spend 40 to 100 hours hunting for answers across forums, blogs, and the Department's website. Then they second-guess themselves anyway.

What couples do today

Piecing it together yourself

  • Late-night scrolling through partner visa forums
  • Watching YouTube tutorials of varying quality
  • Reading blog posts that contradict each other
  • Trying to navigate the Department's own website
  • Asking strangers in Facebook groups for advice
  • Googling "what if" questions over and over
  • Worrying you've missed something important
40 to 100 hours of research And you still feel uncertain at the end.
What you do with the system

One guided application flow

  • Open the Companion, work through 21 modules in order
  • Statement Generator builds your draft via guided Q&A
  • AI Co-Pilot critiques drafts as a case officer would
  • Decision-Ready Score tells you when you're ready to lodge
  • Worked examples set the bar for what good looks like
  • Document Tracker maps every item to a pillar
  • Upload Guide eliminates the upload-day chaos
10 to 15 hours of guided work Each step builds on the last. You know when you're done.
Built on the framework

The four pillars of evidence

Regulation 1.09A of the Migration Regulations 1994 sets out the four aspects a case officer assesses. Strong applications cover all four. The pack ensures you don't leave any gaps.

1

Financial

Joint accounts, joint loans, joint insurance, beneficiary nominations, wills.

2

Household

Lease, utility bills, joint mail, driver's licences at the same address.

3

Social

Form 888 witnesses, dated photos, joint travel, joint event invitations.

4

Commitment

Statements, future plans, communication evidence, powers of attorney.

What customers are saying

Real couples. Real results.

From couples who've used PartnerPath AU to lodge their own application.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Our friends paid over $6,000 for a migration agent, so we assumed that's just what everyone had to do. After doing some research and buying PartnerPath, we couldn't believe how much of the application they still had to prepare themselves. Their agent mainly reviewed what they'd put together and guided them through the process, whereas we had detailed examples, editable templates, checklists and a clear step-by-step roadmap from day one. We saved thousands and felt in control the entire way."

Chloe & Emmanuel W.
QLD · March 2026
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Before this, we spent weeks bouncing between Home Affairs, Reddit, Facebook groups and random blogs. Every website seemed to tell us something different. PartnerPath was the first time everything clicked. Having the entire process laid out from start to finish meant we stopped researching and actually started making progress."

Ana & Greg C.
VIC · October 2025
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The relationship statement was the part we dreaded most. The guided questions made it surprisingly easy, and the finished draft still sounded like us instead of something generic. That feature alone was worth the purchase price."

Lucia & Emily T.
NSW · May 2026
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The biggest value wasn't just saving money—it was finally having confidence. Instead of wondering if we'd forgotten something, we always knew exactly what the next step was. By the time we lodged, we felt prepared rather than nervous."

Michael & Manuela L.
NSW · January 2026
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We actually compared this against the information our friends received from their migration agent. We were genuinely surprised. PartnerPath explained the process much better, showed why each document mattered, and gave us practical examples instead of just a checklist. It felt like the guide we wished we'd found on day one."

Why we built this

"We did this ourselves, as a same-sex couple, navigating a process that felt like it was designed to make you think you needed a lawyer. We spent weeks pulling information from Facebook groups, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, government PDFs. Every source had a piece of the puzzle but none of them gave us the full picture. We'd finish one step and have no idea what came next. The information is all out there. The forms are free. But without a clear system to follow, it felt ten times harder than it needed to be."

"That's why we built PartnerPath AU. For the couple sitting where we sat: overwhelmed, unsure where to start, not sure if they're 'allowed' to do this without a professional. You are. Most couples are. We just wished something like this had existed when we started. So we made it."

Founders of PartnerPath AU

The math is simple

Why $497 is the smartest spend on your visa.

Your visa costs $9,365. Your agent costs $5,000+. Or pay $497 once and save both time and money.

Visa application fee (mandatory either way)$9,365 AUD
$9,365 - paid to the Department of Home Affairs
Migration agent (if you use one)$3,500 - $7,000
$5,000 average - paid to a third party
This system (replaces the agent)$497 once-off
$497
Save $3,000–$6,500+
vs using a migration agent, plus 40+ hours of research you don't have to do yourself.

The 6 most common reasons partner visa applications get rejected

Each rejection trigger below has a corresponding deliverable in the system designed to prevent it.

DO

  • Cover all four pillars with substantial evidence (not just one or two)
  • Cross-check every date and name across all your documents
  • Get 3 to 4 Form 888 witnesses with specific recollections in their own voice
  • Curate to 30-50 captioned photos, not 500 raw ones
  • Address periods of separation honestly and head-on
  • Lodge before your current visa expires (auto Bridging Visa A)
  • Use specific dates, places, and names in your statements
  • Include a cover sheet on every evidence bundle you upload

DON'T

  • Submit 200 utility bills unsorted - case officers don't have time
  • Copy-paste template language - it's instantly recognisable
  • Have witnesses use the same phrasing as each other
  • Submit raw chat exports without curation
  • Miss a Section 56 deadline - it can sink the whole application
  • Apply if you have condition 8503 without a waiver
  • Hide periods of separation - the Department will spot the silence
  • Lodge while unlawful in Australia (Schedule 3 trap)

Each item above is covered in detail in either the playbook, a worked example, or an AI prompt - so you don't have to remember any of this.

The honest reality of using a migration agent

An agent does not write your statement, gather your evidence, take your photos, or coordinate your witnesses. What they actually do:

  • Review your draft and tell you what's missing.
  • Upload your documents to ImmiAccount on your behalf.
  • Provide templates and a checklist.
  • Charge $3,500 to $7,000+ for the privilege.

Most couples don't need a migration agent. They need structure, examples, and confidence to do this properly themselves. That's what we built.

What you actually need to lodge well (and how PartnerPath delivers it)

Know what evidence to gather

  • The Companion App walks you through every evidence category across all four pillars, step by step.
  • The Document Tracker tells you exactly what you have, what's missing, and who's responsible.
  • The Special Situations Addendum covers edge cases most online advice misses.

Write strong statements

  • The AI Statement Generator drafts your relationship statement from guided questions, in your voice.
  • The Worked Examples show exactly what good looks like across 5 annotated samples.
  • The "Stress test" prompt critiques your draft as a case officer would.

Prepare every document

  • The 9 editable Word templates cover every document you need to write, structured to the Department's framework.
  • The 24 AI prompts give you live drafting support for polishing, critiquing, and improving.
  • The Photo Evidence template matches the exact captioned format the Department expects.

Lodge through ImmiAccount correctly

  • The ImmiAccount Upload Guide maps every document to its correct slot, with folder structure and naming conventions.
  • The 12-week timeline planner sequences your prep so nothing is rushed.
  • You retain full control of your application and learn the process for the 801 stage.

Important: read before you buy

This pack is an educational and template resource. It is not migration advice. PartnerPath AU is not a registered migration agent or law firm and does not provide migration assistance. If your situation involves prior visa refusals, criminal history, complex relationship facts, family violence, or a Section 48 bar, you should engage a registered migration agent (check OMARA registration at mara.gov.au) or an immigration lawyer. All visa rules, fees, and forms are subject to change. Verify current details against immi.homeaffairs.gov.au before lodging.

Frequently asked

Questions before you buy

How does the Statement Generator work? Do I have to use it?
The Statement Generator is a guided wizard inside the Companion. You answer 25 questions across 6 sections (how you met, how the relationship developed, financial life, daily life, future plans). The AI then generates a structured 1500 to 2500 word relationship statement organized into 10 sections matching what the Department expects. You review, edit, regenerate sections you want changed, and copy the final version. You can also write your statement entirely yourself using the Word template if you prefer. The Generator is faster and removes the blank-page paralysis most couples hit.
What is the Decision-Ready Score?
A real number out of 100 calculated from your actual progress in the Companion. It weighs your eligibility check answers, foundation tasks, four-pillar evidence, witnesses, statements drafted, health and character checks, and lodgement preparation. Above 80 means you're ready to lodge. 50 to 79 means you're close but address specific gaps. Below 50 means don't lodge yet. Updates automatically as you complete tasks. The big win: you stop guessing whether you're ready.
How does the AI Co-Pilot work? Why not just use ChatGPT directly?
24 prompts written specifically for partner visa work: statement polishing, Form 888 critique, evidence gap analysis, case officer stress testing, and more. No setup required. Click "Copy for ChatGPT / Claude" on any prompt and paste it in. For one-click mode, connect your own OpenAI API key (typically under $5 AUD total). These prompts know the four pillars, the case officer mindset, and common failure points. Generic AI prompts get generic output. These are calibrated for what actually gets partner visas approved.
How much does it cost to use the AI Co-Pilot?
Roughly $0.005 to $0.05 per prompt with OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini or GPT-4o models. Most couples use $3-10 in API usage across the entire visa preparation. You pay OpenAI directly for the API; we don't take a cut.
Is this legitimate? Can I really lodge a partner visa without an agent?
Yes. The Department of Home Affairs does not require you to use a migration agent. Thousands of couples lodge their own partner visa each year. The pack gives you the framework, templates, and checklists to do it properly. We are not a migration agent and we don't provide migration advice. We provide an educational toolkit.
What if my situation is complex?
Be honest with yourself. If you have prior visa refusals, criminal history, a Section 48 bar, family violence considerations, complex custody arrangements, or any PIC 4020 concerns, you should engage a registered migration agent. The pack is built for couples in straightforward genuine relationships, which is the majority of partner visa applicants. The free eligibility check above will give you a clear verdict.
What format are the files? Will the app work on my Mac/Windows?
PDFs open in any PDF reader. Excel (.xlsx) opens in Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, or Google Sheets. Word templates (.docx) open in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or Google Docs. The Interactive Companion is a single HTML file that runs in any modern web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on Mac, Windows, or Linux. No installation required - it works just like opening a webpage from your computer.
What happens if the rules change after I buy?
You get free lifetime updates. Whenever the Department changes fees, forms, or processes, we issue an updated pack and email you the new files at no extra cost.
How long does it take to prepare an application using the system?
Most couples need 6 to 12 weeks of part-time work. The pack includes a 12-week timeline planner. Don't try to rush it. A weak application that gets refused costs you the entire fee (currently $9,365+) and may trigger a Section 48 bar.
Is this for offshore (309/100) applications too?
No, this system is specifically built for the onshore 820/801 pathway. The frameworks (four pillars, Form 888, evidence categories) are similar for offshore, but the lodgement process and bridging visa logic differ substantially. We may release an offshore-specific system in future.
Do you offer a refund?
If a file won't open, is corrupted, or anything is missing, email us at hello@partnerpath.com.au and we'll fix it immediately. That's our commitment. Beyond technical faults, this is a digital product delivered in full at the moment of purchase, so change-of-mind refunds aren't available. This is standard for digital goods under Australian Consumer Law. We'd rather you be certain before buying: download the free Couples Roadmap, run the free eligibility check above, and review the previews of what's inside. If those don't give you enough confidence, it's not the right fit.
Is there an instalment option?
The system is priced at a single once-off payment of $497 AUD. We don't offer payment plans. Digital files are delivered instantly and in full, so a plan structure doesn't work fairly for either side. At $497 versus a migration agent's $3,500–$7,000+, the system is already priced to be an easy decision. If cost is a barrier, download the free Couples Roadmap first and use the eligibility check. Both are completely free.
What about same-sex couples, children from previous relationships, or other special situations?
The pack includes a dedicated "Special situations" module covering same-sex couples, children from previous relationships, sponsor sponsorship limits, prior marriages, and long-distance phases. All scenarios that need extra attention but are common enough to handle within a DIY toolkit.
