Australia
Fiancé/Prospective
Marriage Visa

The Prospective Marriage Visa for Australia is a temporary visa available to the unmarried partners of an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen who wish to marry their fiancé in Australia and migrate there.  If you intend to apply for this visa, you must be outside Australia when you apply and when the visa is granted.

This temporary visa is valid for 9 months from the date the visa is granted. If you are granted an Australian Fiancé Visa you must enter Australia and marry your fiancé (sponsor) within the 9 months. You are then entitled to apply for an Australia Spouse Visa.

• be sponsored by an eligible person;
• be aged 18 years or over (or aged 16 years or over if you have an Australian court order allowing you to marry your intended fiancé(e));
