Immigration Form 888 for Non Australians

Form 888 Statutory declaration by a supporting witness in relation to a Partner or Prospective Marriage visa application.

A few of the specified rules relating to NON Australian Declarations for Form 888

If the visa applicant is outside Australia and is unable to have an Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident complete this form, any person who knows the applicant and their partner or fiance(e) may also complete this form.

If you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident and you reside outside Australia, your statement cannot be considered a statutory declaration under Australian law, even if it is made using this form or the template provided by the Attorney-General’s Department.

However, under policy, your statement should be witnessed or certified according to the legal practices of the country in which you make the statement.

Failing that, it should be witnessed by a person whose occupation or qualification is comparable to those prescribed persons listed below.

This person should sign, date and specify their occupation at the bottom of the statement.
