cocolevi Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Visa Application Charges from 1 July 2015 Visa Application Charges (VACs) will change from 1 July 2015. The changes will fund investment in a number of improvements to support stronger bordersand national security initiatives. These adjustments include: A price increase in line with inflation (2.3 per cent) on visas which face stronginternational competition or have been impacted by recent price increases. o These include specific visas within the Permanent Migration Skill Stream, SkilledGraduate, Temporary Long Stay Business (Subclass 457), Visitor and Studentvisa streams. A 5 per cent price increase on visas which continue to see strong demand despiteprevious increases, or are likely to see a sustained volume increase through policychanges under consideration. o These include specific visas within the Temporary Resident Short Term Businessand Entertainment visas, Working Holiday visas, Resident Return and RetirementInvestor visas, and Contributory Parent visa streams. A 10 per cent price increase on specific visas within the Other Family (RemainingRelative, Carer and Aged Dependent Relative) visas, and (non-contributory) Parent visastreams where the underlying demand is not expected to be impacted by the priceincrease. A 50 per cent increase to the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) stream in the permanentmigration Skill stream category where the VAC is a very small component of theminimum $5 million of investments required under the visa regulation. An alignment of VAC prices where a differential currently exists for lodging an onshoreand offshore application for specific visa subclasses.
