Fiance or Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

Prospective Marriage Visa - Subclass 300

The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) is designed for individuals engaged to an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This visa allows you to reside in Australia for up to 9 months, during which you can marry your partner and apply for a Partner Visa (Subclass 820 and 801) to continue living in Australia.

Advantages of the Prospective Marriage Visa

  • Stay in Australia: Live in Australia for up to 9 months.
  • Work and Study: Work and study at your own expense while in Australia.
  • Travel Flexibility: Leave and re-enter Australia multiple times during the visa’s validity.

Eligibility Criteria

For Visa Applicants:

  • Age: Be at least 18 years old.
  • Location: Apply from outside Australia and remain outside Australia until the visa is granted.
  • Relationship:
    • Be engaged to marry your sponsor.
    • Demonstrate that the relationship is genuine and committed.
  • Sponsor: Have your partner sponsor your application.
  • Health and Character: Meet Australia’s health and character requirements.
  • Government Debts: Have no outstanding debts to the Australian Government, or have arrangements in place to repay them.

For Sponsors:

  • Eligibility: Be the fiancé(e) of the visa applicant and either:
    • An Australian citizen.
    • An Australian permanent resident.
    • An eligible New Zealand citizen.
  • Responsibilities:
    • Ensure the applicant complies with visa conditions.
    • Provide financial support during the visa holder’s stay in Australia.
    • Address any outstanding debts to the Australian Government.

Family Members

You can include dependent children or stepchildren in your visa application. Once the visa is granted, your family members will have the same rights and conditions as you.

Application Process

  1. Check Eligibility: Confirm that you and your partner meet the eligibility criteria.
  2. Gather Documentation:
    • Provide evidence of your engagement, including:
    • Proof of intent to marry within the visa validity period.
    • Photos, communication records, and financial evidence of your relationship.
  3. Submit Application: Lodge your application from outside Australia.
  4. Health and Character Checks:
    • Undergo required medical examinations.
    • Provide police clearance certificates for all countries where you have resided for over 12 months.
  5. Wait for Decision: Once granted, you can travel to Australia, marry your partner, and apply for the Partner Visa (Subclass 820 and 801).

Post-Visa Actions

Once married, you can transition to a Partner Visa (Subclass 820), which is the first step toward permanent residency through the Subclass 801 Visa.

Important Notes for New Zealand Citizens

New Zealand citizens holding a Prospective Marriage Visa should notify immigration authorities to avoid being automatically granted a Subclass 444 Visa upon arrival. The 444 visa may complicate future partner visa applications.
