Applicant Obligations

If before your visa is granted you marry your fiancé, you will need to inform the department so that the department can change your application to that of a Partner visa.

If you are granted this visa, you must meet the following requirements:

• Enter Australia on this visa before you marry your fiancé.
  Note: If you are granted this visa and then marry your fiancé before entering Australia on that visa, your visa may be cancelled.
• Enter Australia by the specified initial entry date.
• Marry your fiancé while this visa is still valid, which is for nine (9) months after it has been granted. The marriage can take place either in or outside Australia provided you have entered Australia on this visa at least once before the marriage takes place.
• Before this visa expires, lodge an application for a Partner visa in Australia to apply to remain permanently in Australia.
• Immediately notify the office handling your application if you change address or your circumstances change. Such changes in circumstances include:
  • you have a child with your fiancé
  • after you marry your relationship ends.
