Also called a fiancé visa, a prospective marriage visa 300 is a temporary visa valid for nine (9) months and is used as a pathway to permanent residency via a partner visa.

You must lodge your application with the Department of Home Affairs. Aside from the usual documentary and eligibility requirements, one of the main criteria here is proving that your relationship with the sponsor is genuine and serious.
This means you have to submit relevant documents that will support your application, such as legally binding written statements that specify how and when you first met each other in person, as well as have someone sign a form stating they know you and your partner, and that they confirm your relationship to be genuine and continuing.
Application for a prospective marriage visa must be made offshore, but once granted, you can be either inside or outside Australia. After the date of grant, you must marry your spouse within 9-15 months, and the marriage can take place onshore or overseas.

Aside from meeting health, character, and age (18 years old or above) requirements, one of the deciding factors is providing proof of your relationship’s genuineness. In other words, you must show evidence of you and your prospective partner being in a true and serious relationship. One of them includes providing proof that you two have personally met and know each other.
Yes! Once your fiance visa is granted, you can fly to Australia and travel within the country while your visa is still valid, and you can do so even before getting married. What you need to take note of is to get married before your subclass 300 visa expires and, if you intend to stay and live in Australia, consider applying for a partner visa as your pathway to permanent residency.
You can apply for a partner visa after prospective marriage and be granted both subclass 820 (temporary) and 801 (permanent) partner visas at the same time, provided that you meet the conditions, including that you and your spouse have been in a serious and committed relationship for at least three (3) years of living together, or have a child with at least two (2) years of living together.
Primary applicants pay $8,850 for the application fee, $935 additional fee if applying with a child over 18, and additional $470 if applying with a child under 18. Disclaimer: these are not fixed and are subject to change. There are also other fees that weren’t accounted for. Consult with a migration specialist for more information.
You can only be legally allowed in Australia if your subclass 300 prospective marriage visa was already granted. If you wish to visit Australia while your prospective marriage visa application is in progress, you need to apply for another visa that’ll allow you to stay temporarily.
