Have you heard of people getting double grants for their Partner Visa application? Yes, you hear it correctly!

This could be the perfect pathway to your dream of obtaining permanent residency in Australia through the Partner Visa!

What is a Partner Visa double grant?
Partner Visa double grant is a condition that your Partner Visa application is granted directly to permanent residency.
The Partner Visa application consists of two stages: a temporary visa (subclass 309 and 820) and a permanent visa (subclass 100 and 801). Generally, you will be granted the temporary Partner Visa first. Then, you will have two years since the grant of a temporary Partner Visa to submit the permanent Partner Visa application.
However, with the double grant of a Partner Visa, you will get both a temporary and permanent Partner Visa granted on the same day! This means your Partner Visa application is granted directly to permanent residency.
Who is eligible to get the Partner Visa double grant?
Couples already in a long-term relationship have a significant chance of getting a Partner Visa double grant. The long-term relationship means you and your partner must have been:
- In a committed de facto relationship or marriage for at least 3 years at the time of application or
- In a committed de facto relationship or marriage for at least 2 years with a child at the time of application.
Note that periods of dating are not counted to meet this requirement.
If you and your couple meet this criterion, you may have an opportunity to get the Partner Visa double grant!

Is there any guarantee to get the Partner Visa double grant?
Unfortunately, no.
Even though you’re in a long committed relationship, there’s no guarantee that you will get both Partner Visas granted at the same time. There are many other aspects to consider in applying for an Australian Partner Visa, including:
- Your immigration history;
- Your health and character background;
- The completeness of your application, etc.
Partner Visa double grant tips from our Migration Agent
Over the 15 years of running our business, we have successfully obtained a Partner Visa double grant for many applicants. Here are some tips to open your opportunity to get a Partner Visa double grant:
1. Submit strong and complete evidence of your relationship
This is very important. You must submit strong and complete evidence of your relationship. Don’t ever stop submitting the evidence after application submission. You are strongly advised to continue uploading evidence until you receive the decision on your Partner Visa application.
2. Ensure to Submit Complete Information
Submitting a Partner Visa application with complete information from the beginning will help you avoid unnecessary delays or requests for further information. This will cut the processing time for your Partner Visa application.
3. Ensure you don’t have any refusal/cancellation/overstay visa history in any countries
Your immigration history, including any visa refusals, cancellations, or overstay will affect your Partner Visa application. The more negative your immigration history is, the more complex your Partner Visa application will be, and it will make your application processed longer than usual.
4. Submit the police clearance and do the health examination earlier
Submitting the police clearance and doing the health examination earlier will allow the Department of Home Affairs to assess your case quickly. Also, ensure that you don’t have any issues with your character or health. If you have any problems, the Department of Home Affairs will ask you to do another health examination or explain your character background. Again, it will affect the processing time.
5. Get professional assistance from a Registered Migration Agent
A professional migration agent can strategically present your case to maximize your chances of getting both visas at once.
If your case is complex (e.g., previous visa cancellations, Section 48 bar, or Schedule 3 criteria), a migration agent can help build a strong waiver request.
Choosing ONEderland Consulting, the best migration agent in Perth for Partner Visa applications, is a wise decision. With 15 years of industry experience, we have a proven track record of successfully submitting strong and decision-ready Partner Visa applications.
