Prepare to apply for 309 visa. If you are in China, do you need to provide Form 888? Thanks

Hello, according to the conditions of the Australian Immigration Bureau for spouse immigration applications, the applicant is required to provide at least 2 sponsors (the applicant's spouse) who sponsor the applicant's visa application when submitting the visa application materials. Form 888 filled out by relatives and friends, and the relatives or friends filling out Form 888 need to hold at least the same Australian permanent residence visa as the sponsor who sponsors your visa application or be a local Australian citizen.

But regarding your situation, when I inquired via email with officials from the Australian Embassy in China, I learned that many Chinese citizens have never landed in Australia before applying for a spouse visa. Therefore, when the embassy is reviewing visa applicants in your situation, it will usually only ask you to provide as many copies of relationship statements from domestic relatives or friends as possible instead of submitting Form 888.

I hope my question is helpful to you. If you need other help, I will try my best to help you answer it.
