Prospective Marriage Visa Australia (Subclass 300)

Planning to marry your partner in Australia? The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) is your first step toward starting a life together.

Our Sydney-based visa agents specialise in guiding you through the Subclass 300 visa application process. With our support, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing that every application detail is handled by experienced professionals who care about your future.

What is the Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)?

The Prospective Marriage Visa (or fiancé visa) is a type of family visa that allows someone who is engaged to an Australian citizen or permanent resident to stay in Australia for 9-15 months. This gives you enough time to organise your wedding and begin building your life together in Australia.

The benefits of the Prospective Marriage Visa:

  • Live in Australia temporarily to prepare for your wedding.
  • Do self-funded work and study in Australia 
  • Opens the pathway to apply for a Partner Visa (Subclass 820 and 801) after marriage.

Our agents will assess your unique situation, and make sure you meet all Prospective Marriage Visa Australia requirements. We will provide tailored advice on how to strengthen your application.

To qualify for the Subclass 300 Visa, you must:
