Yes. Australia Partner Visas are permanent visas that lead to Australia PR upon eligibility. The country offers two types of Partner visas: Subclass 820 (provisional Partner Visa) and Subclass 801 (Permanent Partner Visa). The Subclass 820 visa acts as a bridging visa for the Subclass 801 visa, which allows the holder to live, study, or work in Australia with the status of a legal permanent resident. Therefore, both visas lead to Australia PR, provided you meet the eligibility requirements.
