If you are uncertain, don’t worry, this question is often asked by the couples we work with; you have lodged the application, the Prospective Marriage Visa has been granted and you wonder what steps you need to take next on your Partner Visa journey.
From the time the visa is granted, you have a period of nine months in which to get legally married in Australia to your Australian partner, so you have lots of time to plan that perfect wedding… Actually, depending on the level of bridezilla… You’ll need to tame the bridezilla so this wedding can be organised & enjoyed before the Prospective marriage visa expires.
One tip for organising a wedding in Australia, as soon as you say the “W-Word” (Wedding) the price goes up, so be aware 🙂
Once you are married, it’s back to the boring visa stuff I’m afraid. You then need to look at preparing and collecting the information you will need for your Subclass 820 Visa application.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay the crazy $7k Visa application charge again, subsidized application fees for the Subclass 820 Visa application apply if you are already a Prospective Marriage Visa holder.
At this point, if you have any questions or think this applies to you, we suggest you contact a Registered Migration Agent for expert advice.

I was born in Changsha (China), lived in Wuhan (China), and moved to Singapore when I was 8. So I speak Mandarin and Singlish. I might also speak a bit of Cat. I studied law and now specialise in migration law.

If ur intended partner is on the last 3 months of her multi entry FA CLASS 600 has just married her partner n is going home can she return question how long before she returns n can she still return on another 1 year multi entry visa
Hi William, I’m not 100% sure of your question, are you asking if your partner can apply for a second Subclass 600 multiple entry visa after this one runs out?
What is advisable, to wait while VISA 300 is getting processed, to apply first to VISA 300 and then apply for Visitor VISA 600 or first to apply for VISA 600 and then VISA 300? Thank you
Hi Alex, good question, firstly if you apply for the 600 first are you concerned you will have an 8503 condition? Or are you also considering an 820?
Hello
I have a PR
and my fiancé she’s in overseas in Rwanda what can I do
Can I start her visa process before married because we’re getting married in December ?

My fiancé prospective marriage visa was just granted, when she comes to Australia what does she have to do so the government/custom knows she is on this visa now?
Congratulations Alex, Did you get the visa grant letter?
where can I find the prospective marriage live demo? I am also looking to sign up to the academy and want to ensure it will answer all my queries for PMV application rather than the PV
