Increase of VACs for the majority of visas and new citizenship application fees will apply starting 01 July 2023.
The amendments implement the Government’s decision to index the VACs in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and to implement the Migration – Uplift of Visa Application Charges Budget measure. The increased revenue generated will fund costs associated with improvements aiming to streamline processes and improve service delivery efficiency, resulting in faster visa outcomes for applicants.
