양식 888이란 무엇이며 왜 필요한가요?

A Form 888 is an essential component of Australia’s Partner visa applications, completed particularly by those seeking a permanent visa or a Prospective Marriage visa. It serves as a declaration where family members, friends, or a supporting witness attest to the genuine and continuing relationship between the visa applicant and their partner.

It is crucial to understand that a poorly prepared or incomplete Form 888 can jeopardise your chances of obtaining a visa. The most common reason for partner visa refusal in Australia is a lack of evidence to prove a genuine and committed relationship, including inadequate or inconsistent Form 888s. A lack of detail, vague descriptions, or contradictions could lead to your partner visa being rejected or delayed.

A Form 888 is a legal document with significant consequences. To ensure it is completed accurately, it is advised that you seek professional assistance from a migration lawyer at Australian Migration Lawyers from the outset.

At Australian Migration Lawyers, we can ensure that your Form 888s are completed thoroughly and consistently, with no room for error. Our team will guide you through the process, helping you strengthen your visa application and avoid costly mistakes. Contact us to make sure that your Partner visa application is in safe hands.

양식 888의 예

The Form 888 example Australia can be found on the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) website. It is important to always check the DHA website to ensure you are using the most up-to-date form for your application. See the step-by-step sample Form 888 below, or download Form 888 PDF here.

• The first page of the Form 888 comprises short-answer questions requesting the supporting witness's personal and contact information, as well as details of the visa applicant and their partner.
• The second page consists of two detailed response questions and one optional question, which invites the witness to provide any additional relevant information to support the visa application. Although this question is optional, we recommend answering it, as it provides an opportunity to further strengthen your application.

Question 4 asks the witness to ‘State whether you believe the relationship of the applicant and their partner or fiancé(e) to be genuine and continuing, and give your reasons for your belief’. Simple statements such as "I believe their relationship is genuine and continuing because they love each other" will not be sufficient. This question invites the witness to share their personal beliefs about the nature of the couple’s relationship, including specific examples of their firsthand experiences with the couple, such as when in-person meetings with the couple have happened. For example, you may wish to share how the couple interacts in various settings, provide specific examples of emotional support or highlight how the couple’s friends and family perceive and support them.

How Many Form 888s Are Required for a Partner Visa?

양식 888은 파트너 비자 신청을 지원하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이 양식은 신청자와 파트너의 관계의 진정성을 증명할 수 있는 증인이 제공하는 법정 진술서와 같습니다. 일반적으로 가족, 친구 또는 부부의 관계를 잘 아는 다른 개인이 이 양식을 작성합니다. 이 양식에서는 증인이 관계의 지속성, 헌신, 진정성에 대한 통찰력을 제공하는 관계의 성격을 설명하도록 요구합니다.

The DHA mandates that at least two Form 888 declarations accompany each Partner visa application. However, submitting four to six completed forms can further strengthen the application by providing broader perspectives.

양식 888의 일반적인 실수

특히 파트너 비자 신청서를 평가할 때 케이스 담당자는 명확하고 상세하며 일관된 표현을 선호합니다. 다음은 피해야 할 일반적인 함정입니다:

• Lack of Narrative Flow: Writing about each relationship quality in isolation can appear formulaic. Instead, craft a natural, chronological narrative that describes the genuine and continuing relationship between both the visa applicant and their partner over time, creating a cohesive and compelling story that highlights the couple’s committed relationship.
• Ambiguity or Vagueness: General statements without specific details or examples can appear weak. The declarations should include concrete moments and insights that bring the relationship to life. Similarly, statements should avoid referencing sample answers or examples found online.
• Inconsistent Statements: Any inconsistencies between different Form 888 declarations, or with the couple’s statements, may lead to suspicion or rejection by the Department. Ensure that each declaration supports a unified, truthful account of the relationship.
• Inaccurate Names: It’s crucial that the witness enters their full name exactly as it appears on the person’s identity document they have provided. Similarly, when filling in the names of the applicant and their partner, the witness must use the full legal names as per the applicant’s identity documents.
• Confusing the Applicant with Their Partner: Witnesses sometimes confuse which person in the couple is the applicant. The applicant is the person seeking the visa, while the other party is their partner or fiancé(e).

Failure to Attach Identity Documents or Sign the Form: The witness must sign the form and provide a copy of their identity document.

Understanding when to submit Form 888 is critical for a smooth Partner Visa application. It is advisable to reach out to your witnesses early in the process to request that they complete Form 888. This task should be one of the first steps after planning your evidence. Because these forms require detailed input from third parties, Form 888 timing can be a bottleneck in your lodgement schedule if not managed proactively (8–10 weeks before lodgement). Delays are common when waiting for third parties, such as family or friends, to complete the form.

자주 묻는 질문

What is the purpose of Form 888 for a Partner visa?

Form 888 serves as a “social proof.” While you and your partner provide your own statements, the Department also wants to hear from the people who see your relationship in the “real world.” The form is a formal way for your friends and family to vouch for the fact that you are a genuine couple and that your life together is not just for the sake of visa paperwork.

Who can fill out Form 888 in Australia?

Anyone who knows the couple well can fill out Form 888, regardless of their nationality or where they live. However, it is still a good idea to include at least two Australians if you can, as the Department gives their statements a bit more weight. The only rules are that the person must be at least 18 and must personally know both of you.

How many Form 888s should I include in my visa application?

Most migration experts suggest aiming for four to six. This allows you to present a wide range of perspectives.

Does Form 888 need to be certified by a Justice of the Peace?

Not anymore. In late 2023, the Department redesigned the form to be a “Supporting Statement” rather than a “Statutory Declaration.”

Can I use Form 888 for a Prospective Marriage visa?

Yes, it is a standard requirement for the Subclass 300 visa as well. The only difference is that instead of talking about you “living together”, your witnesses will focus on your plans to marry, how they have seen your relationship develop over time, and why they believe you genuinely intend to build a life together in Australia.
