Once granted, the Partner Visa 309 allows you to:

• Live in Australia with your partner
• Work and study without restrictions

• Progress towards permanent residency under Partner Visa Subclass 100

Outstanding service. I recommend Auzworld Migration to every person from any country who may wish to immigrate to Australia and have sure assistance in the process. I was consistently impressed and deeply touched by the kindness, wisdom, and accompaniment in the journey of receiving my partner visa from the professionals and friends at Auzworld Migration. Noteworthy was the meticulous attention to detail on the paperwork, which was tremendously appreciated, but also, and more so, the sincere care and encouragement of me which eased my worries every step of the way. Thank you for everything, including ''being there for me'' at one of the most significant moments of one's life, the passing of my beloved mother. We are friends for life!
