Australian Spouse or Fiancé Visa

Aa Australian Spouse or a Fiancé visa allows an Australian Citizen or a Permanent Resident (PR) to bring their spouse to Australia and start their family.  There is just a minimal difference between a Spouse (subclass 309) and Prospective marriage/Fiancé (Subclass 300) Visa.

 

Partner/Spouse Visa (Subclass 309)

An Australian Partner Visa is granted to a person who is already married to an Australian Citizen or a PR.  This visa operates in two parts – It is initially temporary and can lead to permanent residence, provided the couple remains together for at least 2 years.  To elaborate. A subclass 309 is granted initially and then after two years it changes to subclass 100.   In cases, where you are already married for more than 2 years, you are directly granted a 100 subclass i.e. a permanent resident visa.

The main requisite for this visa is, you have to prove your genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian Citizen or a PR.  There are certain parameters on which your application is judged.  Some of the major points are:

  1. You need to prove your marriage is socially accepted
  2. You need to prove your genuine intention to stay with your partner and to prove to the immigration that this marriage is not based on grounds of taking some undue visa favours.
  3. Need to meet the minimum health criteria by undergoing health examination requested by the department
  4. Need to submit a character clearance certificate to prove there is no legal bindings in travelling to a new country.

This Visa lets you:

  1. stay in Australia until they decide your permanent Partner (Migrant) visa (subclass 100)
  2. work in Australia
  3. study in Australia (you will not receive government support)
  4. travel to and from Australia as many times as you want
  5. attend up to 510 hours of free English language classes provided by the Adult Migrant English Program
  6. enroll in Australia’s public health care scheme.

Prospective Marriage – Subclass 300

The only difference in this visa subclass is that you are currently not married to Australian Citizen or PR, but intends to marry them soon. Once this visa is granted, you are provided with a 9-month visa and you need to marry within this period. The 9 months period starts from the date of grant of subclass 300. You need to apply for partner visa after you are married if you wish to stay in Australia.

The documentation and benefits remain the same, with the exception of providing marriage proofs initially, you need to show your genuine relationship by way of chats, telephone records, meeting pictures etc.
