Important information

Please be aware that the decision on your visa application may be based on the information and documentation that you include at the time of lodgement. Applicants should not make arrangements to travel to Australia until advised that their visa has been approved. You may be asked to provide information in addition to that provided in your application. If this is the case, you will be given a date by which you will have to provide the information.

The provision of false or misleading information or documents may have an adverse effect on the outcome of the application and will delay processing.

You must provide a certified copy of the documents, not the originals. Please be aware that any original documents you choose to provide may not be returned to you. If an original is required, the Immigration processing office will request this from you. All documents must be certified by the relevant authority. Documents not in English must be accompanied by accredited English translations.
