Prepare your Australian partner visa — without the $5,000 agent
Built from your answers, not a generic checklist: every document you’ll need, how to get each one, and always a clear next step — the know-how you’d otherwise hire a migration agent for, in a calm workspace you move through at your own pace.

How-to guidance for each document: which office issues it, the published fee, the typical wait.
Your whole application, together in one place.
Every document in its section, marked obtained or outstanding — and the next thing to do, front and centre.
It’s not that the information doesn’t exist. It’s everywhere and nowhere.
“I have the checklist — but no idea how to actually get half of these.”
“Which police certificate? From which country? Does it need translating?”
“An agent quoted $5,000. The forums say five different things. ChatGPT changes its answer every time.”
You don’t need more information. You need it organised, in order, and explained.
One calm place to prepare — start to lodged.
See everything there is to gather
The published requirements, organised into the sections Home Affairs groups them by — what's obtained and what's outstanding, at a glance.
Learn how to actually get each document
A step-by-step walkthrough for obtaining each piece — which office issues it, the published fee, the typical wait — starting with UK and Australian documents.
⟡ The under-served partGet the timing right
Police certificates carry validity clocks. Southern Visas tracks expiry dates so nothing lapses before you lodge — and nothing gets ordered so early it has to be redone.
Watch your progress
How many documents are obtained, how many remain, and which one to do next. Counts and gaps — no noise, no upsells.
Southern Visas organises the requirements published by the Department of Home Affairs and explains the published process for each document. It’s a preparation tool — not a migration agent, and it doesn’t assess your circumstances.
The Southern Visas engine maps your situation to your exact documents.
Not a chatbot that gives a different answer every time it’s asked. A purpose-built engine for the onshore 820/801: tell it where you and your partner have lived, whether you’re married or de facto, and who’s coming with you — and it maps your answers to the documents the published requirements ask of you.

The government charge is already A$9,365. The question is what you add on top.
Every applicant pays the application charge. The choice is between paying an agent thousands more, going it alone with forums and forty browser tabs — or having the whole thing organised for the price of software.
Confident, inconsistent, forgotten.
A different answer every time you ask — and nothing remembered the moment the tab closes.
Structure, clarity, kept.
The order and explanation of professional prep — your application in your own hands, your data private.
Thorough — and priced like it.
Hands the whole thing off, for a professional fee on top of the government charge itself.
Transparent pricing: one payment, shown up front — no subscription, no upsells. The A$149 launch price is a limited introductory rate.
Make it simpler for couples to start their life together in Australia.
We went through the onshore partner visa ourselves — the scattered requirements, the conflicting forum answers, the fear of getting a five-figure application wrong. Southern Visas is the tool we wish we’d had: every document, how to get it, and a clear next step, in one calm place.
Stop guessing. Start your plan.
Answer a few questions and Southern Visas turns the published requirements into your workspace: every document you need, how to get it, and what’s next.
