Short answer
Subclass 100 is the permanent stage of the offshore Partner visa pathway.
The subclass 100 Partner visa is for a person seeking a permanent partner visa on the basis of being the spouse or de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
It is linked to the offshore partner pathway. The person usually first needs the relevant provisional Partner visa before the permanent subclass 100 visa can be approved.
