Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300)

A temporary visa to come to Australia and marry a fiancé who is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.

Subclass 300

Subclass 300 is for a couple who intend to marry. It is not the visa for a couple who are already married or already de facto partners.

After the marriage, a partner visa can be lodged.

The sponsor is an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen.
Both people have met in person, and they were adults when they met.
They genuinely intend to marry within the period the visa allows, and to live together as spouses.
Both are free to marry.
The sponsor meets the sponsorship requirements.
Health and character requirements.

It is a temporary visa. It is not permanent residence.
The marriage takes place within the period the visa allows.
A partner visa is a separate application after the marriage. See the onshore partner visa.
