Why Choose the Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)?

The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) is designed for individuals who are engaged to an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. It allows you to travel to Australia, get married within the visa’s validity, and then apply for a Partner Visa to continue your journey toward permanent residency.

Key Benefits of the Subclass 300 Visa

• Travel to Australia before getting married

• Stay in Australia for up to 9 months

• Work and study while on the visa

• Apply for a Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) after marriage

• Include eligible family members in your application

Purpose and Transition Pathway

The Subclass 300 visa is a temporary visa that allows couples to reunite in Australia and marry legally within the visa’s validity period. Once married, the applicant becomes eligible to apply for an onshore Partner Visa, which can lead to permanent residency and eventually citizenship.
