Price increases for Australian visa applications from 1 July 2018

Migration Amendment (Visa Application Charges) Regulations 2018: Subsection 504(1) - Migration Act 1958

Subsection 504(1) of the Migration Act provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Migration Act, prescribing matters required or permitted to be prescribed or which are necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Migration Act.

In addition, regulations may be made pursuant to the provisions of the Migration Act listed in Attachment A. The purpose of the Migration Amendment (Visa Application Charges) Regulations 2018 (the Regulations) is to amend the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Migration Regulations) to make changes to visa application charges (VACs) for certain visas.

    The Department of Home Affairs is becoming more and more audacious in their approach. They charge exhorbitant fees for sub-standard services that play with people's lives, leave them hanging for years to make decisions only to refuse them. These price increase are unjustified and someone should stop this monstor from doimg whatevet it wantsto!!

    DHA is just doing its job like all other bureaucratic arms of the government, nothing wrong with that.
