There are two temporary partner visas
Temporary Partner Visa Subclass 309
This is a visa for partners who are not living in Australia at the time of the application. An Australian visa office in your partner’s country of origin will process the application.Temporary Partner Visa Subclass 820
This is a visa for people who have already entered Australia on a valid visa and wish to switch to a visa that reflects their partner status.
Both these visas can convert to permanent residency as subclass 100 or 801 visas.
