Prospective Marriage Visa
(Subclass 300)

Begin Your Love Story in Australia with AINiT

The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) is a temporary visa that allows the fiancé(e) of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to come to Australia to marry their partner and apply for permanent residency. This visa provides a vital opportunity for couples in genuine, committed relationships to reunite and start their married life in Australia.
Once granted, this visa is valid for 9 months. During this period, the couple must legally marry, after which the visa holder becomes eligible to apply for a Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801). This pathway leads to permanent residency and, eventually, Australian citizenship.

- Enter Australia before marrying your partner
- Marry within the 9-month visa period
- Apply for a Partner Visa after marriage
- Work and study in Australia temporarily
