Prospective Marriage Visa Support

What this site can and cannot help with if you are planning marriage around a prospective marriage visa.

The Prospective Marriage visa (subclass 300) is an immigration process, not a celebrant service.

What we can help with

We can help with the marriage side, including:

  • how the NOIM works
  • the timing rules
  • what documents are usually needed
  • booking a paperwork-only marriage

What we cannot help with

We do not provide:

  • migration advice
  • visa strategy
  • immigration outcome advice

If you need visa advice, speak with the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent.
