How to Apply for an Australian Visa
- Use the Visa Finder to help you find the visa most likely to meet your specific circumstances, if you don’t already know which visa to apply for.
- Your application may require supporting documents. Refer to the visa requirements provided under the respective Visa Options to help you prepare the evidence you need.
- Lodge online using ImmiAccount
- Pay the visa charges online through ImmiAccount. You can refer to Visa fees and charges for the current Visa Pricing Table. You can also use the Visa pricing estimator to estimate the cost of your visa before you submit your application.
IMPORTANT: You should apply for your visa well in advance of your intended travel date. We recommend that you do not finalise your travel arrangements until you have a valid visa to travel to Australia.
