What’s next after the Prospective Marriage Visa?
What happens after your Prospective Marriage Visa is granted?
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 🙂
What happens next, after we are married?
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.

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?
