Visas and Immigration

Changes to online visa applications from 9 August 2008

From 9 August 2008 the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship is changing its online application forms for certain visas.

The form for the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) will include additional questions relating to health and character.

Clients applying for the following visas may need to complete the new Personal Particulars Form:

· e676 Further Stay
· Student Initial
· Student Further Stay
· Working Holiday Maker 1 (subclass 417)
· Working Holiday Maker 2 (subclass 417)
· e457 Business – Primary
· e457 Business – Subsequent Dependent
· General Skilled Migration – Applicant.

If applicable, the Personal Particulars Form and the request to complete it will be automatically displayed on the page immediately after payment.

Some student visa applicants may also need to complete a Student Supplement Form.

The department encourages all clients to complete their applications with as much information as possible at time of lodgement. Applications with missing information may take longer to finalise.
