Department of Home Affairs: If you apply online on or after 12:00 am (AEST) 1 July 2023, you will pay the new VAC. This is regardless of when you started the application. Your application is considered submitted when we receive it, along with the VAC.
If you apply online and pay by credit or debit card, PayPal, or UnionPay, your application and visa application charge is generally received on the same day.
Before submitting your application, make sure it includes all the required documents. If you submit an incomplete application, you may need to submit a new application and pay the relevant VAC.
