10 May Australian Visa Application Fees to be increased from July 1st

Australian Visa Application Fees to be increased across the board

Australia’s recently announced 2017-18 Budget shows an increase in all visa application fees. The new fees will come into effect as of 1st July 2017.

A Partner visa application will rise from the already fairly hefty AUD $6865 to $7000, while a skilled migration visa application will increase from $3600 to $3670. All visas will have higher fees as of 1st July and they will be indexed each year.
