Fiancé Visa Letter for Immigration

Understanding the Fiancé Visa Letter

A Fiancé Visa Letter, also known as a Notice of Intended Marriage letter, serves as an official document in your immigration process. This essential document provides formal confirmation of your intention to marry in Australia, verifies the lodgement of your Notice of Intended Marriage, supports visa applications, specifies your planned marriage date and location, and carries the authority of your registered celebrant’s signature.

Obtaining Your Letter

Step 1: Notice of Intended Marriage Lodgement

The process begins with the proper completion and lodgement of your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). This crucial first step involves:

• Completing the NOIM form with accurate information
• Submitting required identification documentation
• Payment of the standard lodgement fee
• Ability to lodge from overseas if necessary

Step 2: Letter Issuance

Following successful NOIM lodgement, we prepare your letter including:

• Comprehensive documentation meeting immigration requirements
• Authorised celebrant’s official signature
• All necessary details for visa application purposes

Letter Contents

Your Fiancé Visa Letter will provide formal confirmation of:

• Your intended marriage date and location
• Complete details of both parties
• Verification of NOIM lodgement
• Authorised celebrant’s credentials
• Specific ceremony location details in Brisbane or surrounds
• Confirmation of legal capacity to marry

Essential Considerations

We provide this comprehensive documentation while emphasising several important points:

The Fiancé Visa Letter, while an important supporting document, does not guarantee visa approval. All couples must still meet the Department of Home Affairs’ visa requirements. Marriages must take place within 18 months of NOIM lodgement, and the mandatory one-month notice period applies to all marriages in Australia. Additional documentation may be required depending on your specific circumstances.
