The visa policy of Australia deals with the
requirements that a foreign national wishing to enter Australia must
meet to obtain a visa, which is a permit to travel, to enter and remain
in the country. Visa rules are set out in the Migration Act 1958 and the
Migration Regulations, which are administered by the Department of Home
Affairs.
Australia maintains a universal visa regime, meaning that every
non-citizen in Australia must have a visa, either as a result of an
application, or one granted automatically by law.
Australia has ceased to issue visa labels on visa holders' passports
since 1 September 2015, and all visas are issued and recorded on a
central database. Visa records can only be accessed through Visa
Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO), a digital verification service
provided by the Department of Home Affairs.
Notes:
Please note ICEPP is not authorized to assist with the VISA process
