ATTENTION: TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS VISA, YOU MUST HAVE MET YOUR PARTNER IN PERSON BEFORE.
What is Prospective Marriage (Fiancé) Visa: Subclass 300?
The Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa, commonly known as the Fiancé Visa, allows you to travel to Australia to marry your Australian partner. You may be eligible for this visa if you are engaged to an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
This visa allows you to stay in Australia for a temporary period, usually between nine and fifteen months, to marry your partner. You must be outside Australia at the time of application and at the time the visa is granted. You must also have met your partner in person before you apply.
After your marriage, you may be able to apply for a Partner Visa, subclass 820 and 801, which can lead to permanent residency in Australia. In most cases, you can also access Medicare once the partner visa application is lodged.
This visa is suitable for couples who are planning to get married and begin their future together in Australia.

Subclass 300 Prospective Visa Costs
When applying for a Prospective Marriage (Fiancé) Visa (Subclass 300), there are two main types of costs to consider: the professional service fees for preparing your application, and the visa application charge set by the Department of Home Affairs.
Professional fees: At Easy Aussie Migration, our professional fees are based on the complexity of your case. Some applications require more time and attention than others, and our pricing reflects that. We offer fixed-fee arrangements so you know the total cost upfront, with no hidden charges along the way. For clients who may need it, flexible payment plans are also available. Our fees remain fair, competitive and always focused on delivering a high-quality application.
DHA fees: In addition to our service fee, you will need to pay the government lodgement fee. The Department of Home Affairs currently charges $9,365 for the main applicant. This amount must be paid in full at the time you lodge your application, and credit or debit card payments are accepted. Please note that a card surcharge will apply.
