SUBCLASS 820 – PARTNER VISA
This visa lets the De Facto partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen live in Australia. Getting this visa is the first step towards a permanent Partner visa (subclass 801).
Our Immigration Lawyers and Registered Migration Agents are experts in Subclass 820 Visa. Our team can assess your circumstances and let you know if this visa is the right pathway for you. We can point out the weaknesses of your case and assist you with making a strong and decision ready application. Our average processing time is much lower than the Department’s average processing time. We always ensure that our client’s subclass 820 is lodged validly and in order for them to be entitled to a Bridging Visa A (BVA).
Do not risk visa refusal and save yourself time and money by seeking professional help from our team. We have a dedicated and talented Partner Visa Team at Gold Migration Lawyers who focus on subclass 820 visa. We have managed to assist people in various circumstances and we have the experience and expertise to provide accurate and reliable advice.
If you have not lived together for 12 months and think that you are not eligible to apply, think again! Our Lawyers have assisted hundreds of applicants who had not lived together with their partners for 12 months.
Seeking professional help is highly recommended as Department’s Partner Visa Case officers cannot provide advice and if any errors are made during the application process or even after visa lodgement, there will be a high chance of visa refusal.

I had an outstanding experience with Bilal Hossain as my migration lawyer. From the very beginning, he was extremely professional, kind, and always took the time to listen carefully to my situation. He handled my case with great attention to detail and ensured everything was submitted perfectly.His communication was excellent — always clear, responsive, and he never missed a call when I needed guidance. What really stood out was his deep knowledge and understanding of what works and what doesn’t in visa applications.I received my PR in just 4 months after my interview , which honestly exceeded my expectations. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and very well managed.I paid around $9,000 AUD, and it was absolutely worth every penny. There were no hidden costs, and everything was transparent from the start.Even after my visa was granted, he continued to stay in touch and offer support, which shows his genuine care for his clients.He is truly one of the best in the market. If you’re looking for a reliable and knowledgeable migration lawyer, I highly recommend booking Bilal — you will not regret it.read more

I recently worked with Bilal Ahmad from Gold Migration on my protection visa matter, which was rejected last year by Department, due to non-satisfactory grounds and proceeded to the Tribunal.Due to the high‑risk nature of the case, not many lawyers were willing to take chances with my case not to affect their records.I am extremely grateful for the successful outcome and truly believe that Bilal’s expertise and dedication played a major role in achieving this result. As the whole process was sorted and positive outcome was received within matter of months .From the beginning, Bilal took the time to understand the complexities of my protection claims and the difficult circumstances. He approached every part of my case with professionalism, empathy, and deep knowledge of protection‑based legislation and Tribunal processes.Throughout the entire journey, Bilal:⦁ helped me organise and present my evidence clearly and consistently⦁ prepared strong written submissions addressing credibility, country information, and all relevant legal criteria⦁ explained each stage of the Tribunal process in a calm and clear way⦁ supported me during an emotionally challenging time with patience and respectAt the Tribunal hearing, His advocacy ensured that my situation was fully understood and that the key facts and risks were communicated accurately and respectfully.Thanks to his hard work, the Tribunal accepted my protection claims and granted a positive decision. This outcome has changed my life, and I am incredibly thankful for Bilal’s dedication and professionalism.I highly recommend Bilal Ahmad and the team at Gold Migration to anyone seeking support with protection or refugee matters. His knowledge, compassion, and commitment to his clients are exceptional.read more
