For Future Spouses
The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) is a temporary Australian visa designed for people who are engaged to an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen and wish to travel to Australia to marry their future spouse. The visa allows eligible applicants to enter Australia and marry their prospective spouse within the required timeframe.
After the marriage takes place, eligible visa holders may be able to apply for a partner visa pathway to continue their stay in Australia. Applicants must generally be outside Australia when applying and must meet the relevant eligibility criteria, including relationship and sponsorship requirements.
Eligibility Requirements
The Subclass 300 visa is an offshore visa, meaning applicants must generally be outside Australia when submitting their application.
Your prospective spouse must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen and meet the required sponsorship criteria.
Applicants must demonstrate a genuine intention to marry their prospective spouse, have met personally as adults, and show that they have a genuine ongoing relationship.
Application Journey
Understanding your requirements.Before preparing your Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) application, the first step is assessing your eligibility and understanding the requirements that apply to your circumstances.
This includes reviewing whether you meet the key criteria for the visa, including your relationship status, sponsor eligibility, and your plans to marry your prospective spouse in Australia.
A detailed eligibility review helps identify the information required and ensures your application is prepared based on your individual circumstances.
A successful Subclass 300 application requires clear evidence that demonstrates the genuine nature of your relationship. This stage focuses on gathering and organising documents that show your relationship history, commitment, and future plans together.
We help ensure your evidence is presented clearly and logically, supported by strong statements and relevant documentation. This allows your relationship story to be properly understood as part of your application.
Once your eligibility has been confirmed and your supporting evidence has been prepared, the next step is completing and submitting your Subclass 300 visa application.
A carefully prepared application helps demonstrate your eligibility, your genuine relationship, and your intention to marry your prospective spouse.
After lodgement, the Department of Home Affairs reviews the application and may request additional information or documents during the assessment process. Providing complete and accurate information from the beginning can help create a stronger application.
After receiving the Prospective Marriage Visa and travelling to Australia, the visa holder can proceed with their plans to marry their prospective spouse within the required timeframe.
Following the marriage, eligible applicants may be able to apply for a partner visa pathway to continue their stay in Australia and work towards future residency options.
Our team can continue assisting with future pathway planning, helping couples understand their next steps and prepare for their ongoing journey in Australia.
