Many of my couples are from overseas - anyone can get married in Australia, whether
you are just visiting or hoping to live here. and what better place than Sydney, with
some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, parks, headlands or Sydney Harbour
perhaps?
Getting married in Australia is a simple affair - my couples often comment on how
little red tape is involved, compared to their own countries! We can make all the
arrangements by email or on the phone. The only requirement is that you sign the
Notice of Intended Marriage, have it signed by an authorised witness (usually an
Australian government representative) or a Notary Public, and have it in my hands no
later than a month and a day before the ceremony. Everything else can be done online
or when you arrive in Sydney. I can also help you make all your arrangements for a
wonderful day, from your photographer to the reception.
Have you considered making your wedding the focus of a wonderful Australian holiday?
I am here to help you achieve that.
Migrating?
If you plan to marry someone who is not Australian and you are both planning to live
here, they must have a visa to visit or migrate to Australia. A person may be able to
migrate to Australia permanently if they are in a relationship with an Australian
citizen, Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen. The
relationship should be a married relationship, a de facto relationship, a prospective
marriage (fiancé(e)), or an interdependent relationship. Interdependent relationships
are usually a same-sex partner relationship.
For information on partner migration please refer to the Department of Immigration’s
website at:
http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/partners/sponsorship-requirements.htm
When I take your booking I will give you a letter confirming that you have lodged a
Notice of Intended Marriage with me. This letter needs to be submitted to the
Department of Immigration along with your application.
No contact with the Department is required if you are not planning to live in
Australia afterwards.
