Fees and charges for visas

​If  you  pay  for  your  visa  application  by  credit  card,  a  surcharge  will  apply.  The  current  surcharge  rates  are:

Visa  and  MasterCard*  -  1.08%
American  Express  and  JCB  -  1.99%
Diners  Club  International  -  2.91%


*  The  surcharge  will  also  apply  to  debit  cards  when  making  payments  online.
The  cost  of  visas  changes  from  time  to  time.  The  cost  of  your  visa  is  dependent  on  the  date  we  receive  your  application.  If  there  is  a  price  increase  between  the  date  you  lodge  your  application  and  the  date  we  receive  your  application,  you  will  need  to  pay  the  new  application  charge.




The  visa  application  charge  is  the  amount  of  money  in  Australian  dollars  (AUD)  that  must  be  paid  for  a  visa  application.  In  some  cases  the  visa  application  charge  is  nil.​
