Overseas visitors marrying in Australia

Australia is a beautiful country and a wonderful venue for a wedding.

As an overseas visitor wishing to come to Australia to be married you must comply with the requirements of the Marriage Act 1961 and the same legal obligations apply to you as to those living here in Australia.  It is advisable however, to check that your marriage here in Australia will be recognised in your own country.

I am happy to consult with you regarding your options and the legal requirements either by phone or email.
