How to Write a Visa Invitation Letter for Australia Tourist (Subclass 600) Visa (Spouse or Partner)
A long distance love relationship can be quite stressful on its own without the dilema of not knowing how the love of your life will come over to Australia to visit and eventually stay. When it comes to inviting a spouse or partner to visit you in Australia, there are many factors that must be considered.
First you must realize that the visa officer still needs to be convinced that your special friend will return to his or her country of residence until a different visa is obtained. For those whose guest is not yet a spouse this is also very important.
Regardless of who your guest is, the format of the invitation letter is basically the same. You will only need to provide adequate documentation to show that your guest will return to their country of residence once the time of thier visit has expired. So regardless of who the guest is, what is most important is to ensure that all the required information are in the letter. There is no specific method or style once all the required information is visible in the letter. The Australian Consulate or Embassy requires this letter. Please visit the relevant Australian High Commission website for the most current information
Your letter must include the following information about the person being invited:
* Complete name.
* Date of birth.
* The person’s address and telephone number.
* Your relationship to the person being invited.
* The purpose of the trip.
* How long the person you are inviting intends to stay in Australia.
* Details on accommodation and living expenses.
* The date the person you are inviting intends to leave Australia.
Your letter must also include the following information about the person writing the letter:
* Complete name.
* Date of birth.
* Address and telephone number in Australia.
* Occupation in Australia.
* Your status in Australia
* A photocopy of documents proving your status in Australia and financial Status.

Do not forget to send a scanned copy of your passport. You may need to ensure that this document and all other documents you would be submitting are certified true copies. This can usually be done by a notary.
Also note that even if the guest is your spouse and you are not a citizen, the letter will follow the same format and all you need to change are the specifics of the relationship. Partners and spouses are particularly challenging to invites as guests by citizens of Australia because it is difficult to show that your spouse will leave you to return to their country of residence.

Hi!
Good day. My name is Mae and I am from Philippines. I have a special friend who is an Australian citizen. We known each other since 2015 we talked and see each other only in video chats like Skype, Viber and whatsapp. We never meet in person. He had a child and I also have mine too. I was married before to a Filipino but separated. My special friend invited me to come on holidays because he want to show me the beauty of OZ and the beautiful koalas that I wished to see live in front of me and not just on TV. He said that he will be paying for all the cost of my travel. He work as a constable in Australia he has his own apartment and I have a mini farm in Philippines where I work and raise rabbits and a 5 year old daughter to take care with.. All I want is to see him in person and tourism.
So is it possible for me to come there and meet him in person? Thanks for your help.

Hi John,
You may need an immigration lawyer for this one. The situation is a bit too complex for this forum. However, I would suggest you start working on your documentation early and read a lot from the immigration website for australia.

To whom it may concern
I’ve been in a relationship now for the past 6 months. She lives in philipines and I have been over there 2 and are planning my next visit in October.
I’m trying to get her to visit me for 3 months.
I know it’s complicated all the best paper work involved etc.
I have over 50+ photos of her and I together , with her friends / family etc but I have a problem as we have been communicating on messenger via Facebook over the past 6 months ( video chatting etc) I dint think I can print out a copy of our communication as 6 months of chatting is alot.
Would I need this as proof of our relationship together ?
Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Andrew
The challenge with your application is that with a relationship like this, it’s difficult to prove that she will return to her country!
You may have to keep visiting her until you are ready to marry her!
That being said, you should try to get her a visitors visa! If she has some solid ties to the Philippines then you may be able to get her a visa!
If all else fails, you can always get her a fiancée visa and do the wedding in the USA after she arrives
Hey Dems, Sorry i reply here also it is not related, the contact us form was corrupted.
Regard to invitation letter, do we need a signed letter for embassy or just a letter on email with standard format ,, and attached documents from the host is fine ?

hi have a good day ,,,i will be leaving australia on 31st of january becasue my 3 months visa will expire on february 4,2017,,,my bf who is my sponsor want me to come back with him in australia on march 4,,, any suggestion please on how to make an invitation letter fot reapplying tourist visa for 6 months
Hi Malou,
All you need to do is present your application again like you did the first time. The fact that you left Australia before your visa expired should be a plus. You should start to think about immigrating to Australia if you want to stay so long though.

Hello , I would like to invite my friend from India to come and visit and enjoy my life with me here in Australia. I would provide accomodation and living expenses. How difficult is it to obtain a 12 month visitor visa….
Hi Lucia,
From the information I have gathered over the years. 12 month visas are very rare.
Hello Dem, i am an australian citizen but my mother isnt, left my dad since i was 15yrs old and now i am 27 please what are my chances in bring my mum to live with me in Australia?
Hi Orlando, I believe you can bring your mom to stay with your in Australia. However for that, you may need to contact an immigration specialist. Visit the link below to get more info. Should you decide to simply invite her to visit, you may send her an invitation letter for visa.

I have a girlfriend in Australia and have been talking over a year when I went to see her I had the wrong visa and was deported we wish to get married and move in with her but what letter would I write as when I was deported I was banned for three years but was told that I can write to have it lifted. My question is what Letter do I write to lift the ban and what visa do I apply for that would be great for what we need.
Hey Brad,
I suggest you consult an immigration lawyer for this. They will be in the best position to write the appropriate letter.
Hey my husband is australian citizen and I am having temporary partner visa 309 .I am pregnant and due in june and my parents want to visit us in august .I am not employed anywhere .So, can my husband sponsor my parents ?
Hi Ritima,
Yes he can. He has the right to invite any one, including his parents in-law. Congrats on your pregnancy. I wish you safe delivery.
I am living in VIC, and I would like to invite my father in law & mother in law to Australia as tourist. Instead of avoiding multiple visas each time they come, I would like to ask for multiple entry visas within the visa period (say on year). So they can come early winter, and early summer and be with the family. Will it be ok if I ask them to request for multiple entry visas ? what would the max length they can stay in single stretch?
Hi J,
Yes you can ask them to request for multiple entry visas. Officially, the maximum time a person can stay in Australia on a visitor visa is one year. Usually a visitor is expected to leave the country after 6 months. I would not advice you to request for them to stay for six months though. From my experience, first time visas are rarely multiple entry visas. Nevertheless, there is no harm is requesting for it. I know a few people who have received multiple entry visas – usually parents.
I am a Filipino citizen, I have 2 kids from my past relationship, not married. I am in a relationship with an Australian Citizen for more than 5 years, he also has 2 kids from his past relationship but not married. We have a 2 year old son born here in the Philippines but is now an Australian Citizen by Descent. He usually visits me here in the Philippines but not more than 4 weeks/ year. I plan to apply for a tourist visa for 12 months so I can travel with my son to Australia so he can meet his 2 brothers and grandmother. I wanted my son to have quality time with his father, to know his father and celebrate special occasions like bday and this will be their first xmas together. I know my son can already live in Australia but I cannot leave him there because no one will look after him so I intend to stay their but not more than 12 months. Aside from tourism, this will be my purpose of travel. Do you think I will be granted a tourist visa? Is our son’s birth certificate enough to prove my relationship to my sponsor? Is their a format in writing a evidence of relationship?
Thanks in advance for your help
Hi Brigitte,
No one except the visa officer can determine if you will get a visa or not. You have a very good reason to want to visit Australia. It is a good idea to attempt it. If you were planning to get married, there are other options that can try.
Hi I am trying to write an invitation letter for my friend to visit me here in Australia He lives in Afghanistan I cant find which embassy to send the letter to It looks like maybe in Washington USA How can I put dates when we dont know if he will be accepted
Hello Dems!
My boyfriend (Autralian Citizen) and I (from Chile) have been together for over a year but only lived together for 6 months since all the rest was travelling together which is not consider in a de facto relationship, therefore, immigration said We should apply for a 6 visitors visa so then we can go ahead with a more definite visa. Because I know that getting a longer visa is not that simple we are wondering what information is a must for his invitation letter. Our case is a hard one, of course we will be more than happy to respect the dates they give us but since I’m an Independent Dentist here I don’t have a contract to tied me to my country and I’m sure they will need more than just our word of me leaving when told so. We want to do everything by the rules since we want to have a chance of really staying together soon enough.
Any recommendations???
Thanks and have a lovely week

So, being the elder child of my parents I had to leave go my studies and had to catch a job and take the responsibility of my family. I could study till S.S.C. After 5 years of my father’s death my Mother also fell in sick. At present, I am working in a restaurant with less salary and with that I have to look after my family. Whatever salary I get I have to spend most of my salary for my Mother’s medicine and for my sister’s education. Being a Buddhist boy in our country we are the minority. Over here minority people do not get good job. I am a hardworking and honest boy. I do respect your country, your Government as well as your Parliament. Only you can help me to solve my problem. As a hardworking man I will work in your country. With a lot of difficulties I have collected your e-mail address. It is a humble request please does help me and save my family.

Hi, I was studying and living with my boyfriend for the last 2 years in Australia. However, the study visa ends so I left last year (2016) in November. Am now currently working in my country PNG. What’s the best suggestion you could offer as I am trying to go back to visit during my work leave? Since, the study visit I was on had no further stay so had to return. I really want to go back and be part of his life. Even during the period of living together we lost a bub, which obviously was the saddest thing. Wish to reunite again soon?
Hi Dee,
Sorry to hear about your loss. It is usually quite challenging to get a visa to visit a boyfriend because of the challenge of showing that you will return to your home country. Your case is quite different however because you have already proved that you will return home. So an invitation letter from him for a tourist visa may help. You may also consider immigrating to Australia or formalizing your relationship.
Hello, pls I want to invite my boyfriend to visit me in Australia from Germany and also apply for a fancy visa..how do I go about it.
Hi, my name is Leonie and i would love for my friend to come visit me in Australia he is from Jordan i have just come back from visiting him there and now would love him to come stay with me for a holiday. Im am aware that getting a visa to australia from Jordan may be difficult so i was what documents or infomation i could give to help.
Hi Leonie,
The major work lies with your friend in Jordan. He needs to be able to show that he will go back to Jordan after the visit.
