Australian Partner Visa Cost 2020
Today, we will be talking about a very scary topic for most of you – the partner visa cost. We will talk about what changes to expect this year, the partner visa cost and everything else you need to know.
What Partner Visa Cost Changes Should We Expect this 2020?
For the last few years, the partner visa cost increase happened during the start of the new financial year which is in July. Will it increase this year? We expect that the price will go up as it does every year.
How much is the price increase? The amount is usually announced along with the Department’s budget before the 1st of July.
Will it be a huge increase? That we don’t know. Looking at previous years, we can observe a Consumer Price Index or CPI increase of around 3% – 4%. We are expecting that the same change will happen this year.
How Much Does a Partner Visa Cost in 2020?
According to the Department of Home Affairs’ website, the current price of the partner visa is at AUD7,715 (this is only current at time of publishing). The cost is very painful, we know. Think of it as an investment for you and your partner’s future. On the brighter side, there will be no extra charges when you decide to apply for a permanent visa. The AUD 7,715 is a two-for-one visa offer. You pay for both at the start.
Are There Any Payment Plans for the Partner Visa?
One of the questions that we always get asked is “is there a payment plan for the partner visa?”. Unfortunately, the Government doesn’t have any payment plans available. If you need to finance this, you will need to arrange it privately.
Will your application include other family members? We suggest that you consult a registered migration agent as extra applicants, unfortunately, mean extra charges.
In summary, we are happy to announce that there has been no increase so far in 2020(as of March 2020), but if there is, make sure to subscribe to our blog and we will be the first to let you know.

Hi Emma, looking to get my partner Kwanta (Thailand) a partner visa. I returned to Australia last October from Thai after health problems. We lived together as husband and wife for 5 years in Thailand.

Hi Emma,
According to the latest costing table, it said applicants within Australia Partner Visa cost $7715 but application by prospective marriage is $1285. can you please explain this? I am Australian and my fiance is French, we both live in Australia right now, if we were to get married before applying for the visa does that mean our cost will be $1285?

I am Australian and my bf is Irish. How long does it roughly take for a spousal visa to be approved? We are wanting to move home this time next year. Is there a speedier process than spousal visa? We are 32 and he is an accountant.
