The Department of Immigration has confirmed the new visa application charges that are effective from the 1st of July 2004.
For those who are sending their applications to the Department of Immigration in the next 10 days it should be noted that the correct visa application charge is that applying on the date the application is received by the Department. If in doubt, we would therefore recommend that you include the new charge when completing the payment details on the visa application form.
A full list of the fees effective from the 1st of July 2004 is shown at the weblink below; the new Visa Application Charges for the most commonly encountered visas are as follows:
Skilled Independent, Skilled Family Sponsored, Skilled - State Territory Nominated Independent, the new Skilled Independent Regional (Provisional)- A$1,845 formerly A$1,795
Prospective Marriage, Spouse, Interdependent Partner lodged outside Australia - the local equivalent of A$1,245 formerly the local equivalent of A$1,210.
Provisional Business Skills visas - A$2,450 formerly A$2,385.
Contributory Parent permanent residency visa - first instalment of A$1,245, followed by a second instalment of A$26,475 formerly A$1,210 and A$25,000.
Retirement visa - A$170 (or local equivalent if lodged overseas) formerly A$165.
Where a visa application is being lodged at a post outside Australia the local currency equivalent of the A$ fee can be seen at this website.
There are no changes to the amount of the Bonds that are required for visa applications requiring an Assurance of Support.
