Application for sponsorship for
Sponsored Family Visitors
Form
1149
Department of Home Affairs
Important – Please read this information carefully before you
complete your application. Once you have completed your
application we strongly advise that you keep a copy for your
records.
Who can use this form?
Use this form if you are seeking to be a sponsor of a Visitor visa
(subclass 600) applicant in the Sponsored Family stream.
You can also use this form if you have been requested by the
Department of Home Affairs (the Department) to be a sponsor
for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) applicant in the Tourist stream.
Who can be a sponsor?
In all cases, the sponsor must be an Australian citizen or
permanent resident aged 18 years or over and settled in Australia.
If you are sponsoring someone who is a family visitor you
must be one of the following:
• a relative (parent, child, spouse, de facto partner, brother,
sister, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew or
‘step’ equivalent of any of these); or
• a relative of a person who is a member of the family unit of
the applicant and who is also applying for a Visitor visa –
Sponsored Family or Tourist stream (such as the spouse of
your sibling); or
• a member of an Australian parliament (Commonwealth, state
or territory)
1
; or
• an authorised person representing a Commonwealth, state or
territory government agency or instrumentality
1
; or
• a local government mayor
1
.
If you have already provided a sponsorship for another visitor,
you normally need to wait until their visa ceases to be in effect
before you can be eligible to provide another sponsorship.
Who cannot be a sponsor?
You cannot be a sponsor if you are:
• the applicant’s fiance, in-law, cousin or friend, or
• a New Zealand citizen
If you have previously sponsored a visitor, and your
visitor did not abide by the conditions of their visa, you
may be ineligible to sponsor another visitor in the same
visa class for 5 years.
More information on sponsorship eligibility is available on the
Department’s website
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-
listing/visitor-600/sponsored-family-stream
Personalise the page for sponsors and go to Eligibility.
How to sponsor your visitor
Each of your visitors needs to submit their own application for a
Visitor visa (subclass 600) - Sponsored Family stream online using
ImmiAccount.
This completed form 1149 must then be scanned and attached in
ImmiAccount to each online application.
Further information on the Visitor visa (subclass 600) –
Sponsored Family stream is available on the Department’s
website https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-
visa/visa-listing/visitor-600/sponsored-family-stream
You can personalise this page for Applicants or for Sponsors.
If the Department has requested sponsorship in relation to an
application for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) – Tourist stream, this
completed form 1149 must be scanned and attached in
ImmiAccount to the online application.
Integrity of application
The Department is committed to maintaining the integrity of the
visa and citizenship program. Please be aware that if you provide
us with fraudulent documents or claims, this may result in
processing delays and possibly the application being refused.
Your sponsorship undertaking
The undertaking you must sign in the form states that you agree
to accept all financial obligations to the Commonwealth incurred
by the applicant arising out of the applicant’s stay in Australia.
You are responsible for compliance by the person you are
sponsoring with all conditions under which that person is
allowed to enter Australia.
Note: Holders of Visitor visas – Sponsored Family stream are not
permitted to work in Australia.
What is the security bond?
As the sponsor of the visa applicant, you may be requested to
arrange for the lodgement of a security bond. A security bond
may be requested for each individual visa applicant, including any
travelling family members of the relative included in your
sponsorship. The amount of security bond is determined on a
case by case basis by a delegated officer and is generally between
AUD5,000 and AUD15,000 per person. It should be noted,
however, under the Migration Act 1958 the decision to request a
security bond is at the discretion of the delegated officer.
Therefore, depending on the circumstances of the individual
case, the delegated officer may ask for a security bond of any
amount that they see as appropriate. You will be informed in
writing if a bond is requested. The request will include details of
where the security should be lodged, the amount requested, and
information relating to refund arrangements.
Note:
• A security bond can be provided by a third party who is not the
sponsor. This person should be aged 18 years or older.
• Your sponsorship, and any security bond requested, does not
guarantee the grant of any visa. Each Visitor visa applicant
must meet all visa requirements individually. The sponsorship
you provide in this form is only one of the criteria which must
be met by the visa applicant for a Visitor visa – Sponsored
Family stream.
1
These persons are only eligible to sponsor applicants under the
Sponsored Family stream.
1149 (Design date 09/21) - Page 2 © COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, 2021
What happens to the security bond?
The security bond will be refunded after the visitor you have
sponsored has left Australia, provided they do not breach any
visa conditions.
Visa validity and conditions
Visitor visas are temporary visas. The visa period is determined
on a case by case basis and may be less than the period your
visitor requested.
A visa may be granted for a single entry or multiple entries within
a specified period.
Visitors to Australia must be willing and able to abide by their visa
conditions while in Australia. As a sponsor, you are responsible
for ensuring that your visitor complies with their visa conditions.
If any visitor you have sponsored does not depart Australia
before their visa ceases or does not comply with their visa
conditions:
• their visa may be cancelled or they may be subject to other
penalties
• you may become ineligible to sponsor another visitor for
5 years
• your security bond may be forfeited.
If your visitor is granted a visa, they should carefully check the
details and conditions on their grant letter. They can also check
their visa details and conditions using Visa Entitlement
Verification Online system (VEVO). Further information on VEVO
is available at
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/already-have-a-visa/
check-visa-details-and-conditions/check-conditions-online
If your visitor requests a waiver of the 8503 ‘No Further Stay’
condition and this results in your visitor remaining in Australia
after their Visitor visa expires, they will still be taken to have
breached the 8531 ‘Must leave before visa expiry’ condition, and
you will still incur the penalties listed above, even if the 8503 is
waived and a further visa is granted.
Supporting documents
You need to provide documents to prove your relationship to
each visitor you are seeking to sponsor. This may include, for
example, birth certificates or marriage certificates. You will also
need to provide evidence of your Australian citizenship or
permanent residence status.
You should include as much information as possible to support
your sponsorship application. This includes English translations
of your documents. We may decide your application without
requesting further information from you.
Communication with the sponsor of Visitor visa –
Sponsored Family stream
The visa applicant can authorise you, the sponsor, to receive all
written communications about the visa application, and to act on
behalf of the visa applicant. If this authorisation has been
provided, the Department will communicate with you about the
visa application and will send you any written communications
relating to the visa application that would otherwise have been
sent to the visa applicant. The visa applicant will be taken to have
received any documents sent to you, the sponsor, as if they had
been sent to the visa applicant. The exchange of information may
include personal information. To authorise you to receive all
communications about the application, your sponsored visitor
will need to complete the relevant sections in their application
form 1419.
What is immigration assistance?
A person gives immigration assistance if he or she uses, or
purports to use, his or her knowledge or experience in migration
procedure to assist a person with matters related under the
Migration Act 1958.
The most common times assistance is provided is during visa
application processes, visa cancellation processes or sponsorship
processes (including monitoring or sanctions).
Note: Immigration assistance does not include simply filling in
an application form, translating or interpreting or passing on
information about an application without comment or
explanation.
Registered migration agents
A registered migration agent is a person who is registered with
the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority
(OMARA) to provide immigration assistance.
If operating in Australia, migration agents must be registered with
the OMARA.
Information on registered migration agents, including how to
find one, is available on the OMARA website www.mara.gov.au
Legal practitioners
A legal practitioner is a lawyer who holds an Australian legal
practising certificate (whether restricted or unrestricted) granted
under a law of an Australian state or territory.
Legal practitioners can provide immigration assistance in
connection with legal practice.
Information on legal practitioners, including how to find one, is
available on the Law Council of Australia website.
Information on legal practitioners can also be sought from the
relevant state or territory legal professional bodies.
Exempt persons
The following people do not have to be a registered migration
agent or legal practitioner in order to provide immigration
assistance:
• a close family member (spouse, child, adopted child, parent,
brother or sister of a visa applicant);
• a sponsor or nominator for a visa applicant;
• a member of parliament or their staff;
• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or
international organisation.
An exempt person must not charge a fee for their assistance.
In Australia, if they do charge a fee they are committing an
offence and penalties of up to 10 years jail can apply.

way.
To process your application the Department may need to
communicate with you about sensitive information, for example,

another purpose, or you have consented to use for another
purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.
The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the
security or integrity of any information sent to the Department
over the internet or by other electronic means.

Sponsorship undertaking for a sponsored
family visitor
WARNING: Giving false or misleading information is a serious offence.
21 I agree to accept responsibility for:
• all financial obligations to the Commonwealth incurred by those I am
sponsoring arising out of the applicant’s stay in Australia; and
• unless the Minister decides otherwise, compliance by those I am
sponsoring with the conditions under which they may be allowed to
enter Australia.
I understand that the following visa conditions will be imposed on the
visa:
• the visitor must not work in Australia;
• the visitor cannot apply for a further stay in Australia;
1
• the visitor must not remain in Australia after the expiry of the period
of stay of the visa on which they enter Australia;
• the visitor must not engage, for more than 3 months, in any studies
or training while in Australia.
I understand that any breach of the above visa conditions will prevent
me from being approved as a sponsor for 5 years.
2
1
Except in limited circumstances which are outside their control, or to
engage Australia’s protection obligations under the 1951 Convention
Relating to the Status of Refugees.
2
Except if the breach was of condition 8531 (must not remain in
Australia after the expiry of the period of stay of the visa on which
they entered Australia) and I can satisfy the Department that my
visitor breached this condition due to circumstances that:
• were beyond their control; and
• arose after their arrival in Australia.
1149 (Design date 09/21) - Page 12 © COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, 2021
Security bond and sponsorship limitation
22 I confirm that I will arrange for the lodgement of a security bond for each
applicant I have sponsored if requested to do so.
I understand that any visa application(s) being lodged pursuant to this
sponsorship may:
• be refused, regardless of my sponsorship;
• be refused, regardless of my sponsorship and any security bond I
lodge;
• be approved on the basis of this sponsorship and any security bond
lodged pursuant to this sponsorship.
I understand that the Minister must not approve this sponsorship:
• if I am already the sponsor for another person who holds a
Sponsored (Visitor) (Class UL) visa or a Visitor (Class FA) visa (unless
the new applicant is a member of the family unit of the previous
applicant, and is travelling for the same purpose as the previous
applicant); or
• if I have previously sponsored another applicant who held a
Sponsored (Visitor) (Class UL) visa or a Visitor (Class FA) visa and that
applicant did not comply with a condition of the visa, 5 years has not
passed since that applicant was granted their visa and I am still
subject to a 5 year bar.
I understand that:
• the security bond(s), if requested and lodged, may be forfeited should
any visitor I support not comply with any of their visa conditions even
if the 8503 ‘No Further Stay’ condition is waived and a further visa is
granted.
