The Department of Home Affairs has introduced new online services to support paper-based Parent visa applicants.

• Although applicants must still lodge their Parent visa application on paper, they can now import their application into ImmiAccount once the Department has acknowledged receipt.

• Importing into ImmiAccount provides access to several online services, including:

  • Uploading supporting documents,

  • Viewing messages from the Department,

  • Updating personal details,

  • Checking the application's status.

• This new functionality applies to all new and existing Parent visa applications, except for Parent (subclass 103) visa applications lodged before November 2018.

• A step-by-step guide for importing paper applications into ImmiAccount is available on the Department's website
