To support Prospective Marriage visa holders (Subclass 300), changes were introduced in late 2020 / early 2021 to former visa holders and visa applicants who were unable to enter Australia due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
On 29 October 2021, further extensions of visa validity periods and Visa Application Charge (VAC) refunds were introduced. These were to support Prospective Marriage visa holders who continue to face difficulties entering Australia due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions.
Visa Extensions
On 10 December 2020, Prospective Marriage visa holders or former visa holders who were outside Australia on that day, and who held a Prospective Marriage visa at any time between 6 October 2020 and 10 December 2020 had their visa validity period extended to 31 March 2022.
On 29 October 2021, Prospective Marriage visa holders who held a subclass 300 visa and were outside Australia on 15 September 2021 had their visa validity period extended to 31 December 2022.
