Ensure seamless travel to Australia by updating your new passport details with the Department of Home Affairs. Avoid delays and link your visa to your new passport through ImmiAccount today.
If you hold or have applied for an Australian visa, it’s crucial to update your passport details with the Department of Home Affairs before travelling to or from Australia if you obtained a new passport after your visa was granted.
Here’s why it’s important:
Your Australian visa is electronically linked to your passport.
If you’ve received a new passport after your visa was granted, you need to notify the Department so they can connect it to your visa or application.
What happens if you don’t update your passport?
Failure to update your details may cause significant delays when travelling, whether you’re entering Australia from overseas or departing the country. This requirement applies to:
Temporary visa holders.
Permanent residents living in Australia.
Visa applicants.
