My partner is applying for the 820 and 801 partner visa.
He was previously in Australia on a work and travel visa, however he left 2 months after he was supposed to. When going through the airport, customs told him he would be excluded from entering the country again for 2 years. This was in January 2014, so its been 2 years since his exclusion ran out..Im just wondering if anyone has experience with this and will it effect his application at all?

I think you will find it is 3 year exclusion period, but it is not applicable to the 820/801 application.

Problem is that is an onshore application.

* That is only from memory.

If he wants to apply for a partner visa onshore, he’ll have to come to Australia on some sort of temporary visa first. This may be problematic, even after the exclusion period is over. You should probably consider offshore options as welll.
