So I was just downloading our checklist again, we are applying onshore with definitely is a subclass 820/801, and when I clicked on the checklist for this visa on the DIAC site it links to the following:

http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/_pdf/820-801-checklist.pdf

The header of the checklist literally says:

Partner Visa: Offshore Temporary and Permanent
(Subclasses 820 and 801)


Pretty sure 820 is ONSHORE? No?!

Just want to make sure whether this is a mistake from DIAC's side or I am actually doing it all wrong an 820 is offshore...

How strange. They probably copied and pasted from 309 checklist and forgot to change it????

Oh thank god so it's not me having the wrong info? Not even sure where to call or email to make them aware of this...

In my experience, even if you make a department of such great size aware of a mistake on a form, there is so many levels of internal bureacracy for them to cross that it never happens.

I think it's their error, as 820 is definitely an onshore application, and I guess the only thing you could do is ignore it.

You could complain in the hope that someone, somewhere picks it up and does something about it, but I wouldn't hold my breath!

But of course my first reflex is - what if they just see "Offshore" on the first thing in my application and deem it invalid? Makes *our* applications look sloppy with the wrong looking form at the front, while we have all put so much work into it. Not fair!

Yes, that is a careless mistake on the check list for the onshore application, I noticed it the other day, a problem with people using cut and paste in immigration. The 820 is definitely the onshore application, and the check list seems correct for the onshore requirements.
