The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300), often referred to as a fiancé visa, allows you to enter Australia to marry your intended spouse. This temporary visa enables couples to live together in Australia while preparing for their wedding and applying for a partner visa to stay permanently.
The visa application fee for the Prospective Marriage Visa Subclass 300 is currently AUD 9,095. Additional costs may include medical examinations, police checks, and document translations.
Processing times can range from 15 to 24 months, depending on individual circumstances and the complexity of your case. Use the visa processing time guide tool for an indication of the actual processing time of subclass 300 visas.
When transitioning from the Subclass 300 (Prospective Marriage Visa) to the Subclass 820 (Partner Visa), the individual is moving from a temporary visa that allows them to live in Australia as an engaged partner of an Australian citizen or permanent resident, to a visa that grants the right to stay longer as a de facto partner or spouse. The Subclass 820 visa typically lasts for around 9 months, during which time the visa holder must marry their partner. After this period, they can apply for permanent residency under the Partner Visa category. This process is a common step for those who are engaged as Australian citizens or permanent residents and wish to live together in Australia while planning their future.
