To apply for an Australian visa, you must create an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website and lodge your application online. For an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA), use the dedicated Australian ETA app. For all other visas, complete the online application form, upload required documents, and pay the application fee through your ImmiAccount. It is recommended to apply well in advance of your travel date.
Step 1: Determine the correct visa
Use the Visa Finder on the Immigration and citizenship website to find the visa that best suits your circumstances.
Step 2: Gather supporting documents
Prepare all necessary documents, which can vary depending on the visa type.
Documents can include a valid passport, photos, financial evidence, and other documents related to your purpose of travel (e.g., a Letter of Offer for a student visa).
Step 3: Create an ImmiAccount
Go to the ImmiAccount portal on the Department of Home Affairs website.
Log in if you have an existing account or create a new one.
Step 4: Lodge your application online
For visas other than an ETA, fill out the online application form within your ImmiAccount.
For an ETA, download the Australian ETA app, scan your passport, take a photo, and answer the questions within the app.
Step 5: Submit and pay
Attach all required documents to your application.
Submit your application and pay the visa application charge online.
Note: Applications are not processed until the fee is paid.
Step 6: Follow up
You may be required to provide biometrics by making an appointment at a VFS Global centre, depending on your location.
You can track the progress of your application through your ImmiAccount.
