Australia | New online services for paper-based Parent visa applications

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.
