The total number of partner visa allocations for the 2025-2026 year has been announced.
In September 2025, the Department of Home Affairs announced that the 2025–26 Permanent Migration Program will have the same number of places as the 2024-205 program – 185,000 places.
Of these 185,000 migration places, 40,500 places have been allocated to the partner visa program.
This is the same number of partner visa places as the 2024-2025 year.
So, no increase in partner visa places this year, but no decrease either.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to book a consultation for more information about anything mentioned here.
Regards.
