Australian migrant’s visa applications can be checked online
Australian migrant’s and visa applicants can now find details of their visa online. The following press release outlines Australia’s Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service.
Checking visa entitlements online is a winner
15 Jan 2009
Australian visa labels are going the way of the dinosaur.
It’s all thanks to the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service, a free internet service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The department’s online systems make it possible to lodge a visa online, check the status of an application and check visa entitlements. Visa holders also no longer need a visa label attached to their passport to travel to or work in Australia.
“VEVO enables visa holders to view their visa details online,” a Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) spokesman said. “The system is also for employers, who can use it to ensure their workers have the entitlement to work in Australia.”
“VEVO represents a huge step forward. Visa labels attached to passports provide limited information about visa status and conditions that apply to the visa. Now, visa holders can find out all about their visa status and visa conditions at the click of a button.”
More and more visa holders are using VEVO with at least 50 000 people logging on monthly to view their visa details. This means fewer and fewer people need to personally visit a DIAC office to get their visa evidenced.
DIAC is encouraging visa holders and organisations to find out more about VEVO and how it can benefit them.
