    Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)

    Planning Your Australian Wedding and Future

    The Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage visa is the ideal choice for you if you are outside Australia and plan to marry your Australian partner after you arrive.

    The Goal: This temporary visa grants you a period of up to 15 months to enter Australia, marry your fiancé(e), and then lodge your permanent Partner Visa application (Subclass 820/801) while remaining onshore.

    The Focus: The application requires strong proof of your genuine intention to marry, evidence of having met, and knowledge of each other’s backgrounds.

    PM Migration Advantage: We help you align your wedding plans with the visa requirements, ensuring your path from engagement to permanent residency is seamless and stress-free.

  • Onshore Partner Visa (Subclasses 820/801)

    Securing Your Permanent Future While Already Here

    The Subclass 820/801 Partner Visa is for partners who are in Australia and hold a valid, substantive visa when they lodge their application.

    The Benefit: Lodging this application often grants you a Bridging Visa, which allows you to remain in Australia, work, and study while the temporary 820 visa is processed.

    The Requirement: You must satisfy the four relationship pillars (financial, household, social, and commitment) while residing together in Australia. You must meet specific visa criteria to lodge onshore.

    PM Migration Advantage: We focus on ensuring your current visa status allows for onshore lodgement and work with you to compile the robust evidence required by the Department, helping you gain the peace of mind that comes with securing your future here in Australia.

    Offshore Partner Visa (Subclasses 309/100)

    Starting Your Life Together from Overseas

    The Subclass 309/100 Partner Visa is for partners who are outside Australia when they apply. This is the pathway for those who wish to move to Australia to be reunited with their Australian partner.

    The Process: You apply for the temporary 309 visa and the permanent 100 visa at the same time. You must be granted the 309 visa before you can enter Australia to commence your life together.

    The Challenge: Processing times can be long, making a strong, "decision-ready" application crucial from day one. Evidence must clearly show the relationship's continuing nature despite any physical separation.

    PM Migration Advantage: Our after-hours consultations are perfectly suited for bridging international time zones. We meticulously gather and prepare your evidence to maximise the strength of your offshore application, aiming for the quickest possible grant.
