Australian Prospective Marriage Visa 2020 (subclass 300)


The prospective marriage visa also known as a fiancĂ© visa. People who want to come to Australia to marry their prospective spouse who is an Australian citizen or permanent residence can apply for this visa.  This Subclass 300 visa has a 9 month validity and in this time frame you will need to marry your spouse and you will be eligible to apply for a partner visa.


What you can do legally in this 9 month time period?
You can visit Australia to marry your fiance as well as you can work 9 months under this visa. You will be permitted to do study during this time, but no govt fund support will be provided. During this time you can visit multiple time to Australia.

How you can apply for a Partner visa after marrying your spouse?

When you are married to your Australian Citizen partner and granted for subclass 300 visa, you will be able to apply for your partner visa.

In partner visa Australia basically it has 2 stages. 1st stage apply for a temporarypartner visa and then apply for a permanent partner visa. When you are applying for a temporary partner visa actually you are also applying for a permanent partner visa and you will be charged just one visa application by the department of the immigration.

When you have 300 visa granted and you are applying for partner visa subclass 820/801, the immigration department will charge you much less.

You will see your costs for Subclass 300 and Subclass 820/801 is almost same with someone who already applied for partner visa subclass 820/801 without being granted for subclass 300 visa.
