Since your partner has to make an initial entry into Australia anyway, it might be easiest to have a simple civic wedding in Australia, followed by a traditional wedding in Sri Lanka.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for response.

We understand that we can conduct a small civic wedding in Australia and opt to have the traditional ceremony in Sri Lanka.

But are you aware of a method wherein we can conduct the registration/ wedding ceremony in one go at one place outside of Australia (Sri Lanka)? If so, who do you reckon we must approach?

Thanks,

Kasun

This may be a good starting point:

The Government Information Center

The Sri Lankan HC in Canberra may also be able to provide you with the information you're after:

Personally I prefer to use the Australian NOIM, because I know for sure it will be accepted and it avoids unnecessary complications. It is also a relatively straightforward process.
