While Parent visa applications must still be submitted via paper form, applicants are now able to import applications into the online ImmiAccount service.

Key Points:

  • Applicants can import their Parent visa application into ImmiAccount once the Department of Home Affairs has acknowledged receipt.
  • Importing an application into ImmiAccount gives applicants access to a range of online services that make it easier to manage their application, including the ability to:
    • Upload supporting documents
    • Update personal details
    • View the application status
  • The services are available for all new and existing applications, except for Parent (subclass 103) visa applications lodged before November 2018.
  • A step-by-step guide to importing paper applications into ImmiAccount is available here.
