Australian Immi App for Biometrics

Visa applicants around the world can now enjoy a more streamlined Australian visa process following the latest expansion of the Australian Immi App.

Eligible applicants are now able to submit their facial biometrics and passport information directly through their smartphone, eliminating the need to attend a biometric collection centre in person. The app is free to use, helping reduce the overall cost and effort involved in lodging a visa application.

To use the Australian Immi App, applicants must have previously provided their biometrics (facial image and fingerprints) to the Department of Home Affairs and hold a valid passport.
