Helping Vietnamese Nationals Build Their Future Together Overseas
At SJP, we provide professional immigration consultancy services for Vietnamese nationals who are married to, engaged to, or in a genuine long-term relationship with foreign citizens wishing to establish their lives together overseas.
We understand that every relationship is unique and that immigration authorities carefully examine applications to ensure they meet strict legal requirements.

OUR SERVICES
INITIAL ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT
Every successful migration application begins with a thorough assessment of your individual circumstances. We carefully review your relationship, immigration history, financial position, and the legal requirements of your chosen destination to determine whether you meet the eligibility criteria before an application is prepared.
This early assessment helps identify potential issues, minimise unnecessary costs, and ensures you understand the most suitable migration pathway available to you.
IMMIGRATION STRATEGY AND PLANNING
Every country has different immigration laws, visa categories, and application requirements. We develop a personalised migration strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome based on your individual circumstances and long-term goals.
Our advice focuses on selecting the most appropriate visa pathway while ensuring your application is prepared in accordance with current immigration legislation and policy.
SPOUSE VISA APPLICATIONS
We provide professional assistance with spouse visa applications for Vietnamese nationals legally married to foreign citizens wishing to live together overseas.
Our service includes eligibility assessment, document preparation, application review, and guidance throughout the process to ensure your application is complete, accurate, and professionally presented.
FIANCÉ(E) VISA APPLICATIONS
If you are engaged to marry a foreign citizen, we can assist with the preparation of your fiancé(e) visa application so you can legally travel to your partner’s country to marry.
We guide both partners through the application process, helping ensure all legal requirements, supporting evidence, and documentation are properly prepared.
PARTNER VISA APPLICATIONS
Many countries recognise genuine de facto or long-term relationships even where the couple is not legally married. We assist eligible couples in preparing partner visa applications that demonstrate the authenticity and ongoing nature of their relationship.
Our structured approach ensures relationship evidence is organised clearly and presented in accordance with the requirements of the destination country’s immigration authorities.
FAMILY REUNIFICATION APPLICATIONS
Family reunification programs allow eligible spouses, partners, and close family members to join loved ones who are living overseas.
We assist clients in understanding the legal requirements, preparing supporting documentation, and lodging applications under the relevant family migration provisions of the destination country.
DOCUMENT PREPARATION AND ORGANISATION
Well-prepared documentation is one of the most important factors in any successful visa application. We assist clients in collecting, organising, and presenting documents in a clear, logical, and professional format.
Our document preparation process reduces delays, improves consistency, and helps immigration officers assess your application more efficiently.
TRANSLATION GUIDANCE
Many immigration authorities require documents to be translated into English or another official language before they can be accepted.
We provide guidance on which documents require translation and assist clients in ensuring translations meet the standards required by the relevant immigration authority.
RELATIONSHIP EVIDENCE PREPARATION
Immigration authorities require convincing evidence that a relationship is genuine and ongoing. We assist couples in identifying, organising, and presenting relationship evidence that clearly demonstrates their commitment.
This may include photographs, travel records, communication history, financial evidence, family support, and future plans together.
STATUTORY DECLARATIONS AND SUPPORTING STATEMENTS
Personal statements and statutory declarations often play an important role in explaining a couple’s relationship history and individual circumstances.
We assist clients in preparing clear, well-structured supporting statements that accurately reflect their relationship while meeting immigration requirements.
SPONSOR DOCUMENTATION REVIEW
The foreign sponsor is usually required to provide evidence of citizenship, financial capacity, accommodation, employment, and identity.
We carefully review sponsor documentation to ensure it satisfies the legal requirements of the destination country’s immigration authorities before submission.
APPLICATION PREPARATION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Every application is carefully reviewed before submission to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency across all supporting documents.
Our quality assurance process helps minimise errors, reduce unnecessary delays, and ensure your application is presented to the highest professional standard.
IMMIGRATION COMPLIANCE ADVICE
Immigration laws can be complex and vary significantly between countries. We provide practical guidance to help clients understand their legal obligations throughout the visa application process.
Our objective is to ensure every application complies with current immigration legislation, policy requirements, and procedural guidelines.
ONGOING CASE MANAGEMENT
Migration applications often require ongoing communication, document updates, and careful monitoring throughout the assessment process.
We provide continued support from the initial consultation until a decision is made, keeping clients informed and assisting whenever additional action is required.
ASSISTANCE RESPONDING TO REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Immigration authorities may request further documents, clarification, or additional evidence before making a decision.
We assist clients in preparing timely, accurate, and comprehensive responses to ensure all requested information is submitted correctly and within the required timeframe.
PRE-DEPARTURE GUIDANCE WHERE REQUIRED
Once a visa has been approved, we can provide practical guidance to help clients prepare for their relocation overseas.
This may include information relating to travel planning, important documentation, arrival procedures, and general preparation for commencing life in the destination country.
