Form 1149 – Application for Sponsorship of a Family Visitor (Visitor Visa 600)

Form 1149 is the official Application for Sponsorship for Sponsored Family Visitors used by Australian citizens or permanent residents who wish to sponsor a relative, a member of the Commonwealth, or a state parliamentarian for a Visitor visa (subclass 600). The form outlines the sponsor’s obligations, eligibility criteria, and any security bond requirements.

Traditionally the form is a static PDF that must be printed, handwritten, and mailed. With Formize you can complete the same form entirely online – just click Fill out this form and let our secure PDF filler do the work.

What Is Form 1149?

Form 1149 collects detailed information about the sponsor (name, address, citizenship status), the invited visitor (relationship, passport details, travel dates), and the financial support the sponsor will provide. It also asks about any previous sponsorships and the sponsor’s ability to meet the visa conditions.

Who Needs to Complete This Form?

• Australian citizens or permanent residents sponsoring a family member for a Visitor visa (subclass 600).
• Members of the Commonwealth or state parliament who are inviting a guest for official duties.
• Anyone required to provide a security bond for the visitor’s stay.
