Category: Invitation Letters

If you are seeking to bring a family member, friend or business associate to Australia for a temporary visit, you may need an invitation letter.

This is often necessary for subclass 600 visa applicants (especially in the sponsored family member stream) who are visiting you for any reason.

The most common reasons include parents visiting their children who are studying (e.g. to attend a graduation ceremony) or working in Australia, or other family members coming to Australia to spend time with you.

The purpose of the invitation letter is to demonstrate the purpose of the visit, and the applicant’s intention to leave before their visa expires. It shows that you have a purpose and plan for the trip – and lends weight to your case that the person’s stay is genuinely intended to be temporary only.

A well-considered and clear invitation letter will make it much easier for the Immigration Department to grant your visa, so it is well worth the investment of time. We understand this and have put together some detailed guides, invitation letter templates and resources to help you get that visa as easily as possible.
