During the 2023 Federal Budget one significant announcement is the increase in Visa Application Charges (VACs) for those seeking to lodge partner visas.
The Australia government have announced a price increase by an estimated 6% in line with CPI index.
The primary applicant for a partner or marriage visa will now pay an estimated $8570.00 to the government. In our view the increase will present many challenges for potential applicants who are already stressed over cost of living increases,
Visas Impacted By Price Increase:
Onshore Partner visa: subclass 820/801
Offshore Partner visa: subclass 309/100
Prospective Marriage Visa: subclass 300
What To Do?
If you are contemplating to lodge one of the above visa applications and you are eligible it is recommended that you make your visa application as soon as possible i.e. before 30 June 2023.
Importantly if you have plans to apply for an Australian partner or marriage visa we strongly advise that you submit your application promptly to avoid the pending price increase coming into effect on 01 July 2023.
