Good news : From 09 May 2014, the Australian Government is providing online access to nationals of Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu to apply for a Visitor Visa (visa subclass 600). The online visa lodgement system is available to applicants at their convenience, seven days a week, without the need to apply in person or send in application forms by mail. Applications can be made at immi.gov.au (see: Online Services). To start an application, you will first need to create your own online account, known as ImmiAccount. ImmiAccount lets you create and manage all your online visa applications in one place. You can use your account to: • lodge and pay for your visa application • continue a saved application • attach documents if required, and • check the progress of your application. Please note that you will need access to a credit card to pay for an online application. A third party may complete an online application on your behalf with your consent. If your visa is granted, you will not require a visa label in your passport, as your visa details will be stored electronically. You can check your visa conditions before you travel to Australia using the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system. See: Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) For more information about online visas and which nationalities are eligible to make online applications, see: immi.gov.au/Services/Pages/apply-for-a-visa.aspx
