Prospective Marriage Visa (SUBCLASS 300)

• Have not had a visa cancelled or an application refused.
• Be outside Australia when applying.
• Have a sponsor (your prospective spouse).
• Be of the right age (18 years or older).
• Meet relationship requirements.
• Meet health and character requirements.
• Have no debt to the Australian Government.

Immigration History:

Your immigration history is considered, and having a visa cancelled or refused may affect eligibility. In some cases, applying for a permanent visa might still be possible despite a visa cancellation or refusal.

Residency and Sponsorship:

1. Be outside Australia when applying.
2. You and anyone applying with you must have a sponsor, your prospective spouse, with sponsor approval required.

Age Requirements:

Both you and your sponsor must be 18 years or older.

Relationship Criteria:

In most cases, your prospective spouse must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. The relationship can be with someone of the same or different sex.

Health and Character:

Meet health and character requirements, and have no debt to the Australian Government.

Benefits of the Visa:

This temporary visa allows you to:

• Travel to and stay in Australia for 9 to 15 months from the visa grant date.
• Work and study in Australia.
• Travel to and from Australia as many times as needed while the visa is valid.

Settling in Australia:

If you and your spouse plan to settle in Australia, apply for a Partner visa (subclass 820 and 801) after marriage and before the Prospective Marriage visa ends.

Duration of Stay:

This is a temporary visa, allowing a stay in Australia for the period specified on the visa grant letter, which is between 9 and 15 months from the grant date.

Including Family Members:

Include family members when applying or add a dependent child before deciding on the temporary visa. Family members must meet health and character requirements and be outside Australia. Those not coming to Australia might still need to meet health and character requirements.

Cost:

The visa costs AUD8,850.00 for the main applicant, with an additional fee for each family member applying. The correct visa application charge must be paid, and other costs for health checks, police certificates, and biometrics may apply.
