The Migration (Class of persons for Visitor (Class FA) visa nil VAC) Repeal (LIN 23/069) Instrument 2023 is a legal directive that nullifies and revokes the previous provisions related to the Visitor (Class FA) visa application fee waivers.
This instrument essentially removes the exemption for specific individuals from paying the visa application charge for the Visitor visa subclass FA. As a result, individuals who were previously exempted from this fee will now be required to pay the stipulated visa application charge when applying for the Visitor visa.
This repeal marks a change in the visa application process and fee requirements for certain individuals applying for the Visitor visa subclass FA.
