The short version
Work rights explained: onshore bridging visa, 820, 309 and the prospective marriage 300. This guide gives you a clear, plain-English starting point — and if you'd like advice specific to your circumstances, that's exactly what a consultation with a registered migration agent is for.
What you need to know
- The four pillars of evidence: financial, household, social and commitment.
- Onshore (820/801) vs offshore (309/100) — picking the wrong subclass is a common, costly mistake.
- Sponsor eligibility and the five-year / one-lifetime limits need checking before you lodge.
- A complete file at lodgement reduces the risk of a Request for Further Information (RFI).
