If you or your
fiancé are about to immigrate or in the process of immigrating
to
Australia, in order to comply with the requirements of the Immigration
Department if you wish to obtain a fiancé visa (Prospective
Marriage Visa subclass 300), you will need to
make
arrangements to marry within 9 months of arrival in Australia.
The
Department of Immigration will ask you to supply an Evidence of Notice
Letter from a celebrant. This requires you to complete the Notice of
Intended
Marriage with a Marriage Celebrant who is authorised by the
Commonwealth of
Australia, and have the Celebrant write a letter to the Department,
advising them
of your intended marriage in Australia.
It
will be my pleasure to assist you.
What
you need to do:
- Make an appointment to meet with me (if
one partner is still overseas it is acceptable for only the partner in
Australia to make the arrangements),
- Bring with you to the meeting all
documentary proof of identity required
- Pay the booking fee for your ceremony
(this
fee is non-refundable and includes the cost of completing the Notice of
Intended Marriage and the cost of the letter for the Department
of Immigration)
- Discuss a date for the marriage and
complete the Notice of Intended Marriage .
I will then produce the letter for the Department of Immigration,
advising them that you and your fiance intend to marry and the date of
the wedding.
NB: Should the
Australian
citizen/permanent resident who will be the sponsor also be overseas, or
it be inconvenient for the Australian citizen/permanent resident to
meet face-to-face with me, all of the above can be achieved from a
distance.
