Do I need an invitation letter to apply for an Australian visit visa?

An invitation letter is not strictly necessary to apply for an Australian visit visa. However, it strengthens your application, specifically if you are visiting your friends or family. So, it is recommended that you submit the invitation letter if you are being sponsored to visit Australia under the family sponsorship stream. The invitation letter showcases the actual purpose of your visit to the country and can help convince the interviewer of your intention to return to your home country after completing your trip.
