The Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa (fiancé visa), is for people who want to come to Australia to marry their fiancé.

Eligibility  For the Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa

• You must be outside Australia to apply for the Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa, and you must also be outside Australia when the visa is granted (although Covid concessions currently allow the Subclass 309 visa to be granted when the applicant is in Australia).
• You must have met your fiancé in person, and have evidence of your relationship together.
• Your fiancé must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or an Eligible New Zealand citizen.
• Your fiancé in Australia, must have made arrangements for your marriage. This includes making arrangements with the relevant religious institution which will be responsible for marrying you, or a celebrant, or a registry office; plus your fiancé must have lodged a Notice Of Intention to Marry (A NOIM must be lodged at least one month and one day prior to the marriage – it is a legal requirement in Australia).
• The marriage must be scheduled to take place during the nine months of the visa validity once it has been granted.

Advantages of a Prospective Marriage Visa

• You can bring your fiancé into Australia, with fewer evidence requirements with respect to your relationship, which means that if you don’t meet the requirements for the Provisional Partner Visa, you can still apply for this visa.
• Often, the processing periods are shorter, and the case officers look for less evidence than with the other types of Partner Visas.
• If you have met your fiancé in person, and can only provide a little evidence, the visa will still be granted.
• The Prospective Marriage Visa also allows you to get to know your fiancé a little better before your marriage takes place.

When the visa is in effect

• The Subclass 300 prospective marriage visa is a temporary visa granted for nine months.
• During this period you are expected to marry your fiancé and apply for a Subclass 820 Temporary Partner Visa.
•  Provided you apply for a Subclass 820 Temporary Partner Visa before your Subclass is 300 Visa expires,  you will be granted a bridging visa to allow you to remain in Australia while your Subclass 820 Partner visa is processed.
•  Once your Subclass 820 Partner Visa is lodged, you are entitled to Medicare, and you will continue to have full work rights.

In some circumstances, it is possible for a subclass 300 visa holder to apply for a subclass 820 visa without marrying their fiancé.

Shelby was AWESOME I cannot THANK her enough for getting my husbands 309/100 VISA lodged and sorted for us. She was professional, helpful, a calming influence when i would get stressed, and explained the whole complicated process thoroughly so we knew what would happen each step of the way, she was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend not only Shelby but AHWC Immigration as a whole, you wont be sorry.

AHWC was so helpful in arranging my 820 and 801 Partner Visas, their professionalism in the process was exceptional taking all the pressure off what was a very involved process. I thoroughly recommend AHWC to anyone wanting visas and especially Amy and Clarisa for all the preparation involved in obtaining and processing for Home Affairs.

Kiri was absolutely amazing! I honestly can’t recommend her enough!! We processed my papers in June 2023 and my subclass 820 visa was granted today! It only took 2months! How incredible. Kiri made sure everything was in order throughout the whole process. She was so positive and reassuring. This girl knows what she’s doing!!

This review is LONG overdue, but our immi agent Su Jiang is the best. We had submitted all papers for 820 partner visa in November 2022 and were expecting an approval of a temporary visa. But we ended up with an approved PR within three months of document submission. We could hardly believe our eyes when we received the good news via email from her. Su Jiang, is always very prompt with her email responses, gives detailed guidance and was very very thorough in ensuring the documents were all good before submission. Most importantly she is very patient and was there at every step of the process. Thank you so much Si Jiang, we cannot recommend her highly enough.

I was on a very close deadline with my visa submission and the team at AHWC, particularly Amy and Mancy, couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. Would recommend for anyone needing visa application assistance.

I applied for the 820-partner visa with AHWC and I must say it was an excellent experience. Charisse, who assisted me with my application, was professional and patient throughout the process. I am very grateful for all the support she provided me.
