Prospective Marriage Visa
Subclass 300 Visa
Begin Your Life Together in Australia with the Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)
The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300) allows you to enter Australia and marry your partner within 9 months if you’re engaged to an Australian citizen/ permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. This temporary visa plays a crucial role as your first move towards starting a life together and moving to permanent residency later through the Partner visa pathway.

What is the Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)?
The Prospective Marriage Visa—also called the fiancé visa—lets the overseas partner of an eligible sponsor come to Australia to get married. You must marry your sponsor within 9 months of getting the visa. After that, you can apply for the Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) while you’re in Australia.
This visa is for couples who:
- Have a real committed relationship
- Are engaged to marry
- Want to marry in Australia (or sometimes overseas before the visa runs out)
- Have met face-to-face at least once
When you get this visa, you can:
- Come to Australia and stay for up to 9 months
- Work and study in Australia (without money from the government)
- Travel in and out of Australia as you like during the visa period

Can I Get the Subclass 300 Visa?
To get the Prospective Marriage Visa, you need to meet these main rules:
- You need to be outside Australia when you submit your application and when they grant the visa
- You and your partner must have met face-to-face
- You must plan to get married within the visa timeframe
- Your sponsor must be an Australian citizen permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen
- Both of you must be 18 years or older

What Does a Subclass 444 Visa Allow?
The SCV lets you:
- Stay in Australia for as long as you want.
- Do a job or take classes in Australia.
- Come and go from Australia as you please while your visa stays valid.
- Help eligible family members (Non Kiwis) get visas.
- Eligible to apply for Australian citizenship after living in Australia for at least 4 years with at least 12 months as a permanent resident immediately before applying.
But, it doesn’t give you full access to social security, and your rights depend on when you first came to Australia.

Common Reasons for Visa Refusals (and How We Help Avoid Them)

- Failing to show plans to marry within the time the visa allows

Moving to Permanent Residency
After marriage, you can switch from the Subclass 300 visa to the Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801)—a two-step process that leads to permanent residency.
