If you are planning to marry an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or an eligible NZ citizen, and are currently offshore, you can apply for a Prospective Marriage visa. This visa option provides for a potential pathway to permanent residency in Australia.
If granted, this visa will allow you to travel to Australia and marry your intended spouse before the visa expires.
Once you are married, you are then able to apply for the Subclass 820 – Onshore Partner Visa at a lower visa application fee if you apply for it before your Prospective Marriage visa ends.
It’s a temporary visa that enables you to move to Australia and marry your partner. You must be outside Australia at the time of lodgement and visa grant.
Once the 300 visa is granted, you’ll have 9 months to move to Australia, plan your wedding, get married and lodge a spouse visa application. During this time, you can leave and re-enter Australia as many times as you wish.
It can be quite a challenge, but with our help your new life together as marital partners will be plain sailing. You’ll have much more time to plan your big day, knowing that True Blue Migration has everything in hand with your visa application.
You may be eligible for a Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa if you are over the age of 18 and you intend to marry an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen.
You must be outside of Australia at the time when you apply for this visa and at the time when the visa is granted.
The intention criterion comprises two (2) overarching considerations. The first relates to the integrity of the relationship between the visa applicant and the sponsor, namely whether they intend to live together as a couple. The second relates to formal arrangements made pursuant to the intended marriage.
There is a clear distinction between the requirements of a partner visa and those of a prospective marriage visa. In a partner visa application, the parties must establish that their relationship comports to that of a typical spousal or de facto relationship, including cohabitation, joint finances and other such elements. For the prospective marriage visa, the parties are not necessarily required to provide evidence of a joint life, but the integrity of the relationship remains at issue.
