Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)
The Partner Entry Permit, commonly known as the Prospective Marriage Subclass 300 Visa, is designed for individuals who are engaged to be married to someone who is an Australian citizen, a permanent resident of Australia, or a qualified citizen of New Zealand.
This specific visa category permits the fiancé(e) to come to Australia and reside for a period of up to 9 months. Within this timeframe, the visa holder is expected to marry their Australian partner and can also take the necessary steps to secure a Partner Visa (subclasses 820 and 801)
