Temporary Visa Options
Prospective Marriage Visa
This is a temporary visa
for the purpose of bringing your fiancé to Australia to marry. This visa
can be viewed as a preliminary step toward a permanent spouse visa.
A person is eligible for this visa if they have met their intended
spouse at least once and have a genuine intention to marry. The general
requirements for the Prospective Marriage Visa are:
-
You must be sponsored by:
-
an Australian citizen
-
Australian Permanent Resident or
-
an eligible
New Zealand citizen;
-
You must be both free to
marry, and of a marriageable age;
-
You genuinely intend to
live with your intended spouse as husband and wife; and
-
You must meet health and
character requirements.
A Prospective Marriage
Visa is a temporary visa and is valid for 9 months from the date of
grant, during which time, you must enter Australia and marry your
fiancé/sponsor.
Once you are married you become eligible to apply for an Onshore Spouse
Visa.
Refusal of a Prospective Marriage Visa gives rise to a right to review
at the Migration Review Tribunal.
