Marriage Planning for a Prospective Marriage Visa

This page is about the marriage planning side of things, not migration advice.

If you need visa advice, use the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent.

What we can help with

We can help with the marriage process itself, including:

• booking the service
• preparing the NOIM
• checking documents
• explaining the legal marriage steps

What we cannot do

We cannot:

• give migration advice
• predict visa outcomes
• approve or influence a visa application

Marriage timing still matters

The normal Australian marriage rules still apply:

• the NOIM must usually be given at least one month before the marriage
• the NOIM can usually be given up to 18 months before the marriage
• the marriage itself must still happen in person
