What is a Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)?
The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) is for people who want to come to Australia to marry their prospective spouse. The Subclass 300 visa is temporary and is valid for nine months, beginning from the day you enter Australia.
The Subclass 300 visa must be lodged offshore and when your Prospective Marriage Visa is granted, you can then come to Australia. Once in Australia you must marry your fiancé and lodge your Partner Visa (Subclasses 820) application within nine months, before your Subclass 300 visa expires.
The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) can be the ideal pathway to marriage and permanent residency in Australia if you are in a committed relationship with a non-Australian citizen.
