Australia
Visa applicants from around the world can now apply for an Australian visa more easily, thanks to the latest expansion of the Australian Immi App.
Eligible applicants can now use the Australian Immi App to submit their facial biometrics and passport information from their smartphones, removing the need for in-person visits to biometric collection centres. The Australian Immi App also reduces the costs associated with a visa application as there is no charge to use the app. To be eligible to use the app, clients must have previously provided their biometrics (facial image and fingerprints) to the Department and hold a valid passport.
From 24 November 2025, the Department of Home Affairs introduced the app in a further 19 countries, bringing the total number of supported countries to 34.

The Department of Home Affairs thanks all applicants for embracing this shift to digital service and looks forward to continuing to expand the app’s reach in 2026. It aims to give easier access to Australia’s visa system for more people, in more places.
