Prospective Marriage Visas

Prospective marriage visas allow eligible individuals to travel to Australia for the purpose of marrying their Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen partner. These visas are intended for couples who are not yet married but have a genuine intention to do so within the required timeframe.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice to couples considering prospective marriage visa options, assisting clients to understand eligibility criteria, application requirements, and the obligations that apply once the visa is granted. Our approach is structured and careful, recognising that these applications often form part of a broader plan to live together in Australia on a long-term basis.

​

Applications for prospective marriage visas are assessed closely, with particular focus on the genuineness of the relationship and the intention to marry. Applicants are required to provide detailed evidence of their relationship history, future plans, and compliance with visa conditions. We advise clients on preparing applications that are accurate, consistent, and supported by appropriate documentation.

​

We also provide guidance on the steps that follow marriage, including the transition to partner visas and any timing or compliance considerations that may arise. Our role is to ensure clients understand the process clearly and are able to plan confidently.
