Visa labels in particular, have not been required in Australia for some time. Labels are no longer routinely printed and physically placed in passports. Instead, online checking provides more timely and secure information as to the entitlements of a visa holder.
In late 2012, subject to legislative approval, the department expects to implement a charge of AUD70 for this discretionary service.
Australia bound international commercial airlines and cruise ships verify with Australian authorities that passengers have an Australian visa before they travel to Australia. This verification is conducted through the electronic travel systems, generally at the time of issuing a boarding pass.
Australia does not require you to have a visa label in
your passport to remain in or enter Australia, however, if you intend traveling though any country which may require you to have an
Australian visa label or stamp in your passport, we recommend that you get a
visa label in your passport.
Dealing with an immigration expert can save you a significant amount of time and
money, as well as give you peace of mind that your immigration matter is being
handled by real professionals. It can also make all the difference between
success and failure in obtaining an Australian visa.
The best way for you to ensure the success of your application is to appoint VisaMagnet as your migration agent for preparation and lodgment of your
application.
