What is a Prospective Marriage (Subclass 300) Visa?

The Prospective Marriage visa (Subclass 300) is a temporary visa allowing you to enter and stay in Australia for up to 15 months to marry your Australian partner. It’s designed for couples genuinely intending to marry and then live together.

You must be outside Australia to apply. Successfully navigating its specific requirements, including demonstrating your relationship and intent, is crucial for this first step towards settling in Australia with your prospective spouse.

Meeting Subclass 300 Visa Eligibility

To qualify for the Subclass 300 visa, both you and your sponsoring partner must be over 18 and have met in person. You must genuinely intend to marry within the visa period and then live together as spouses.

Meeting health and character requirements is also mandatory. Ensuring all eligibility criteria are fully met and adequately evidenced in your offshore application is vital to avoid delays or potential refusal.

From Fiancé Visa to Permanent Partner

The Subclass 300 visa is your initial step. After marrying your partner in Australia (or overseas, then re-entering) within the 9-15 month visa period, you must then apply for an onshore Partner visa (Subclass 820/801) before your Subclass 300 visa expires.

This two-stage Partner visa application eventually leads to permanent residency. Understanding this multi-step pathway and meeting all deadlines for each stage is essential for your long-term settlement in Australia.

Evidence for Your Subclass 300 Application

Your Subclass 300 application requires substantial evidence of your genuine relationship and intention to marry. This includes identity documents, proof of your engagement, and formal confirmation of your marriage arrangements from an authorised celebrant.

Providing comprehensive and correctly formatted documentation, including translations if needed, is crucial. The Department assesses the authenticity of your relationship, making thorough preparation key to a successful application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

What is a Prospective Marriage (Subclass 300) visa?

This temporary visa allows you to come to Australia for 9 to 15 months to marry your prospective spouse (an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible NZ citizen) and then apply for a Partner visa.

Who is eligible to apply for a Subclass 300 visa?

You must be offshore when applying, be sponsored by your prospective spouse, both be over 18, have met in person, genuinely intend to marry within the visa period, and meet health and character criteria.

Can I include children in my Subclass 300 visa application?

Yes, if you have a dependent child (usually under 18) you wish to bring, they must be included in your application. They cannot be added after your visa is granted.

What if my partner and I have an arranged marriage and haven't met?

Meeting your prospective spouse in person at least once before lodging the Subclass 300 visa application is a mandatory requirement, even for culturally arranged marriages.

Can the Subclass 300 visa be extended if our wedding is delayed?

No, this visa is typically valid for 9 to 15 months from the grant date and cannot be extended. You must marry and apply for a Partner visa within this period.

Do we have to get married in Australia?

No, you can marry anywhere, but your marriage must be legally valid under Australian law. If marrying overseas, you must first enter Australia on the Subclass 300 visa, then depart to marry, and re-enter before applying for the Partner visa.

What happens if our relationship ends before the Subclass 300 visa is granted?

If your relationship ends before the visa is granted, you are no longer eligible for the Prospective Marriage visa, and your application will likely be refused.

What if we marry before my Subclass 300 visa application is decided?

If you marry your sponsor before a decision is made on your Subclass 300 application, you must notify the Department. Your application typically transforms into an offshore Partner visa (Subclass 309/100) application.

Does the Subclass 300 visa grant permanent residency or Medicare access?

No, the Subclass 300 is a temporary visa. You can apply for a permanent Partner visa (Subclass 820/801) after marriage. Medicare access is usually available after you apply for the Subclass 820 Partner visa.
