The 300 Prospective Marriage Visa generally takes 12 to 18 months to process, depending on the completeness of your application, the quality of your supporting documentation, and your individual circumstances. Submitting clear, comprehensive evidence of your genuine intention to marry and ongoing relationship can help streamline the process and minimise potential delays.
The 300 Prospective Marriage Visa is valid for nine months from the date it is granted. During this period, you must travel to Australia and legally marry your sponsoring Australian partner. Failure to marry within this timeframe may result in visa expiry and affect your ability to remain in or return to Australia.
Yes, you can include dependent children in your 300 visa application. Eligible children will be granted the same visa, allowing them to live, work, and study in Australia for the duration of the visa. You’ll need to provide appropriate documentation to show the relationship and dependency status of each child, such as birth certificates, custody agreements (if applicable), and evidence of financial dependence.
Yes, one of the key eligibility requirements for the 300 visa is that you and your partner must have physically met in person at least once before lodging your application. This meeting must be genuine and documented, and online-only or virtual interactions do not satisfy this requirement. Evidence such as photos, travel itineraries, and meeting details should be included with your application to demonstrate this.
Once you have legally married your Australian sponsor in Australia, you become eligible to apply for the onshore Partner Visa (subclass 820/801). This next step allows you to remain in Australia while your application for permanent residency is being processed. It’s important to apply for the 820 visa before your 300 visa expires, and you will need to provide evidence of your marriage and ongoing relationship as part of that application.
Yes, holders of the 300 visa have full work rights during the nine-month validity period. This means you can legally work for any employer in Australia and are not subject to restrictions on the type or number of hours worked. This flexibility helps you begin settling into life in Australia while preparing for your partner visa application and marriage.
No, the 300 Prospective Marriage Visa is designed specifically for couples who intend to marry in Australia. If you have already married or plan to marry outside Australia, you may need to consider applying for a Partner Visa (309/100) instead. To meet the 300 visa requirements, your marriage must occur in Australia within the nine-month visa period.
