Passport & Document Collection:

Applicants need to produce their original invoice cum receipt for passport collection. Where the applicant is unable to collect their own documents, an authorised person can do so on their behalf. The authorised person will be required to present a letter of authorisation which includes both the applicants and authorised person`s signature. The authorised person will also be required to present photo ID, such as a passport or drivers licence, and the original invoice cum receipt.

There is no change in Australian immigration requirements and the decision-making process for the grant of Australian visas will remain with the Australian Visa Office. All applications continue to be assessed on their merits in accordance with Australian legislation and policy.

Note: There is no change to the existing Australian policy regarding the lodgement of applications for entertainers, general skilled migration, parent migration and provisional entry to Australia on business skills grounds. These applications should continue to be lodged directly with the relevant processing office in Australia.
