何时可以申请伴侣签证？

Unlike tourist or student visas, the Australian partner visa process is a permanent residency (PR) pathway and the assessment process is far more rigorous than temporary visa application processes. That is, because you can get permanent residency via the partner visa route without a skill or qualification, many people pretend to be in fake relationships, sometimes referred to in the movies as ‘sham marriages’’. Fraudsters coordinating fake relationships for visa purposes often go to great lengths to obtain evidence, including documents, to support their application. This means that it is difficult for the Australian Government to distinguish between your genuine relationship and someone trying to get permanent residency in Australia by way of a fake relationship. Unfortunately, this results in thousands of partner visas being refused. The Department of Home Affairs' own reporting shows the primary refusal rate for partner visa applications has generally sat in the single digits in recent years, though it can vary by year and visa stream. If your partner visa application is initially refused, you can appeal to Australia’s Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) and a meaningful proportion of refusals are overturned at the ART each year after applicants provide stronger evidence that their relationship is genuine. It is important to understand however that if your partner visa is refused, you may have to wait up to two years for Australia’s administrative review tribunal to schedule a tribunal hearing, hear your evidence and determine your appeal. This is why we recommend engaging an Australian Migration Lawyer to prepare a strong, decision-ready application in the first instance.

在此期间，本指南将为您介绍在澳大利亚申请伴侣签证所需的一切信息。

了解伴侣签证

在了解具体细节之前，让我们先澄清一下 "伴侣签证"的含义。伴侣签证主要有两种类型：

在岸伴侣签证（820 子类别）和离岸伴侣签证（309 子类别）。

这些签证允许澳大利亚公民、澳大利亚永久居民或符合条件的新西兰公民的事实伴侣或配偶在澳大利亚居住。

结合伴侣签证的类型，有两类签证被称为临时伴侣签证和永久伴侣签证。这两类签证都可归入这两类签证。

但这还不是全部。如果您想结婚，还可以申请准结婚签证（300 子类别），该签证适用于计划在抵达澳大利亚后与澳大利亚伴侣结婚的人。

Applying for the Prospective Marriage visa does not require you to already be married , it is specifically designed for couples who are engaged or planning to marry, addressing a common question about whether you can apply for a partner visa before marriage.

何时申请伴侣签证

The timing of your partner visa application depends on your circumstances. Generally, you can lodge a partner visa application to the Department of Home Affairs at any time if you are in a de facto relationship or married to an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. Note that this timing question is separate from the choice between the onshore Subclass 820 and offshore Subclass 309 pathways; that choice depends on whether you are inside or outside Australia at the time of lodgement, not on how long you have been together

通常情况下，如果您是事实婚姻关系，通常需要等待 12 个月。这意味着在您提交伴侣签证申请之前，您和您的伴侣需要在一起至少一年，像已婚夫妇一样共享生活。

不过有一个好消息--这条规则也有例外！

如果你们的关系已在澳大利亚的某些州正式注册，则可能不需要等待整整一年。请记住 登记关系可能会有所不同，而且并非所有州都提供这种服务。

如果有特殊情况，比如你们有共同的孩子，也可以提前申请。

如果您已婚，则无需担心伴侣签证的 12 个月规定，但您需要证明您的婚姻是真实且持续的。

If you are legally married to someone other than your Australian partner, or you are not yet divorced from a previous spouse, this can affect your eligibility. If your partner visa application is based on marriage, you and your partner must both be free to marry, meaning any previous marriage must have been validly ended by divorce, death or annulment recognised under Australian law. If your application is instead based on a de facto relationship, you do not need to be divorced from a previous spouse to apply, provided you meet the de facto relationship requirements and are not still living with a previous spouse as a couple. Your specific circumstances can affect which pathway is available to you, so it is important to seek advice before applying.

澳大利亚移民律师可根据您的具体情况为您提供建议，并为您提供伴侣签证申请方面的选择。  

事实关系

根据澳大利亚移民法，事实关系的定义是，您和您的伴侣（可以是同性或异性）对共同生活做出专一承诺的关系。这种关系应该是真实的、持续的，而且你们必须生活在一起，否则不得永久分居。

纳入同性关系 LGBTQ+

澳大利亚承认同性关系中个人的权利。这种包容性也延伸到其伴侣签证政策中。同性伴侣申请临时和永久伴侣签证与异性伴侣申请相同。这意味着，如果您与澳大利亚公民、澳大利亚永久居民或符合条件的新西兰公民存在事实上的同性关系或已婚，您同样有资格申请伴侣签证。通过这种方式，澳大利亚确保所有性取向的人都能平等地获得移民途径。与任何伴侣签证申请一样，提供大量证据证明你们关系的真实性至关重要。

持有学生签证时可以申请临时伴侣签证吗？

如果您在澳大利亚持有学生签证，并且在此期间与澳大利亚公民或永久居民建立了事实上的关系或结婚，您当然可以申请临时伴侣签证。

It’s an exciting prospect, but here's the thing to remember: when you apply for the temporary partner visa, your student visa doesn't stop immediately. It continues until its expiry date. That means you should keep studying and comply with the conditions of your student visa, even while your partner visa application is being processed. Once your student visa expires, a Bridging Visa A will ordinarily become active. This bridging visa allows you to lawfully stay in Australia while you're waiting for the outcome of your partner visa application. A Bridging Visa A granted on lodgement of an onshore partner visa generally carries full work rights, though the specific conditions attached to your bridging visa depend on the conditions of the substantive visa you held immediately beforehand , always confirm your bridging visa conditions on VEVO.

因此，从本质上讲，您正在从学生签证过渡到过渡签证，然后根据您的申请结果，有可能过渡到临时伴侣签证。

然而，重要的是要记住，持学生签证申请临时伴侣签证的过程可能相当复杂。您的具体情况，如与学生签证相关的条件，会影响您申请伴侣签证的资格和流程。

由于申请过程的复杂性，在申请伴侣签证时寻求移民律师的帮助可以让您安心，因为您知道您的情况掌握在具有这方面知识的人手中。

持有过渡签证期间，我可以申请伴侣签证吗？

In most cases, you cannot apply for a partner visa while on a bridging visa. In rare cases, a partner visa application can be made on compassionate or compelling grounds that would need to satisfy particular Schedule 3 criteria. This criteria is difficult to satisfy. Schedule 3 generally requires you to show compelling reasons for not applying for the partner visa earlier, and compelling circumstances affecting the interests of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, such as your partner or any children of the relationship.

申请伴侣签证小贴士

申请伴侣签证是重要的一步，申请过程可能很复杂。以下是一些小贴士，希望对您的申请有所帮助：

1.关系证明：内政部需要查看您的事实关系或婚姻的证据。这可能包括显示共同财务状况的财务记录、同居证明，以及您、您的伴侣和其他人关于你们关系性质的声明。

2.健康和性格检查：您需要通过健康和品行检查。这些检查是许多签证申请的标准程序，伴侣签证也不例外。您需要接受政府指定医生的健康检查，并提供过去 10 年中在每个国家居住过 12 个月或以上的警察证明。

3.申请费：准备好申请费。这笔费用相当可观，因此在申请前一定要了解自己的经济负担情况。

$11,710 - the main applicant (visa application charge) (effective 1 July 2026, Department of Home Affairs)
$5,860 - any child over 18 and
$2,935 - each child under 18 years of age

A Prospective Marriage visa (Subclass 300) applicant who later applies for the Partner visa (Subclass 820/801) after marrying may be eligible for a reduced charge for that later application; confirm the current concessional amount with the Department before lodging.

请注意，这笔费用不包括其他可能的费用，如健康检查、警方证明或翻译服务（如需要）的费用。

If you have previously sponsored a partner for a partner visa, be aware that there are generally limits on how many times a person can sponsor a partner visa applicant in their lifetime, and timing restrictions may apply between sponsorships; this is worth checking early, as it can affect when your partner is eligible to apply.
