International Couples Getting Married on the Gold Coast

Visiting from overseas? You can marry on the Gold Coast without residency. NOIM from abroad, documents, witnesses, visas, and packages from $820.

You do not need to be an Australian citizen or Queensland resident to get married on the Gold Coast.

International couples can marry in Australia if they meet the usual legal requirements.

What still applies

You still need:

  • a NOIM
  • the right ID and supporting documents
  • proof that any earlier marriage has ended
  • translations where needed
  • two witnesses aged 18 or over
  • both people physically present for the marriage

Can we prepare the NOIM from overseas?

Usually, yes.

The NOIM can often be witnessed overseas by an authorised witness, and in some situations remote NOIM witnessing may also be available under the current rules.

Do we need to be in Australia for the whole notice period?

No. The key point is that the NOIM is given in time and the notice period has passed before the marriage.

But for the marriage itself, both of you must be physically present.

Important visa note

Marriage itself does not give you visa rights or residency.

We can help with the marriage side, but we do not provide migration advice.
