What is the age limit for an Australia Partner visa?

There is no age limit to apply for an Australia Partner Visa. However, both the partners are expected to be aged above 18 years or of legal marriageable age. The sponsoring partner has to be an Australian citizen, PR holder, or an eligible New Zealand citizen to be eligible for Subclass 820 (Australia Partner Visa for temporary use). Once the sponsor lodges an application for the Subclass 820 visa, the beneficiary can become an Australian Permanent Resident via the Subclass 801 visa, a permanent visa for spouses or de facto partners of Australian citizens and PR holders.
