You don’t have to be an Australian citizen or even a permanent resident of Australia to legally marry here.
Many people visit Australia on a Tourist Visa to marry in our beautiful country, and so do a fly-in/fly-out, ceremony and honeymoon.
I cannot offer immigration advice but you will find information on Visas including a Marriage Visa, on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website.
To be legally married in Australia, a person must:
- not be married to someone else
- not be marrying a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister
- be at least 18 years old, unless a court has approved a marriage where one party is aged between 16 and 18 years old
- understand what marriage means and freely consent to marrying
- use specific words during the ceremony
- give written notice of their intention to marry to their authorised celebrant, within the required time frame (not more than 18 months before and not less than 1 months before).
As your Celebrant, I will help you understand these requirements.
