The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300), also known as the fiancé visa, allows an engaged partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to enter Australia to marry their sponsor. It is a temporary visa granted for 9–15 months.

To be eligible, applicants must:
• Be outside Australia at time of application and grant.
• Intend to marry their sponsor within the visa validity period.
• Have met their sponsor in person since turning 18.
• Both parties must be 18 years or older.
• Meet health and character requirements.

The Subclass 300 visa is generally valid for 9 to 15 months from the date of grant. During this time, the couple must marry and then apply for the Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801).

Yes. Subclass 300 visa holders are granted full work rights during the visa validity period. You may also study in Australia at your own expense.

After marriage, you must apply for the Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) before the Subclass 300 visa expires. This begins the pathway toward permanent residency in Australia.

Processing times vary depending on individual circumstances, application completeness, and government workload. It is important to submit strong relationship evidence to avoid delays.

Key requirements include a genuine intention to marry, evidence of a genuine and ongoing relationship, having met in person, sponsorship by an eligible Australian partner, and meeting health and character criteria.
