Default 461 visa to 820 is it possible?

hello,

I'm currently on a 461 visa but separated from my NZ partner.

I've renewed my 461 about 3 years ago but I've been in a relationship with an Australian for about 18 months. living together 5 months.

can someone please tell me if it's possible to enter into a 820 visa then onto 821?
or what my options are. immigration know I've separated at the time of my last renewal.

thanks
SPS

I'm going to suggest that you get some advice from a MARA agent

As you have found, if there is a relationship breakdown, you can continue to hold the 461 visa, but from what I have read with the provision that you do not enter into de-facto relationship with another person.

Get some good advice.

Definitely one that needs input from an agent.

OP - also, you go from the 820 to PR on the 801 (not 821)
