At Legal Wave, we are committed to making your journey to apply for a partner visa to join your loved one in Australia a seamless process. With our support, you can focus on building your future together while we handle the complexities of your visa process.
We begin by understanding your relationship, your partner’s status, and your personal circumstances. During this consultation, we assess your eligibility for a Partner visa (subclass 820/801 or 309/100) and identify any potential risks, such as previous visa refusals or issues with supporting evidence.
We guide you in compiling comprehensive evidence to demonstrate the genuineness of your relationship. This includes financial, social, and household documentation, joint assets, personal statements, photographs, and communications. Proper documentation is critical to satisfy the Department of Home Affairs.
Legal Wave prepares your partner visa application with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring all forms are completed correctly and supporting documents are organised. We also check for common errors or inconsistencies that could cause delays or refusal.
We lodge your application through the appropriate channels and liaise with the Department on your behalf. Our team monitors progress, responds promptly to requests for additional information, and keeps you updated at every stage.
Once a decision is made, we explain the outcome and any visa conditions, such as work rights, travel restrictions, or reporting obligations. We ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities as a visa holder.
Legal Wave continues to provide guidance after the visa grant. For temporary partner visas, we advise on transitioning to permanent residency and compliance requirements. We also assist with any issues arising during your stay, giving you peace of mind.
Please reach out to us at info@legalwave.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

You must be in a genuine and ongoing relationship, either married or de facto (minimum 12 months together unless an exception applies). Your partner must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen.
You need to provide proof of a genuine relationship, including joint finances, shared household responsibilities, personal statements, photographs, and communication records. Strong evidence helps demonstrate the legitimacy of your relationship.
