PROSPECTIVE MARRIAGE VISA (SUBCLASS 300)
The Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300) is for people who want to come to Australia to marry their prospective spouse.
It is a temporary visa for nine months. You must be outside Australia when you lodge your application and when the visa is granted. You can have the wedding in any country: the wedding does not need to be in Australia.
This visa allows you to:
- Enter Australia before you marry your prospective spouse.
- Travel in and out of Australia as often as you want.
- Work in Australia, although some employers might not hire people with temporary visas.
- Study in Australia, but with no access to government funding for tertiary study.
- Apply for a Partner visa, in Australia, after your marriage.
