How to Verify Your Visa for Australia

As a foreign national, obtaining a visa is usually the first step in your journey to Australia. Once you have acquired your visa, it is important to verify its authenticity and confirm your visa status. This can be done through the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system, a secure and convenient platform provided by the Australian Government.

Step-by-Step Guide to Visa Verification

1. Access VEVO System:

   • Visit the official VEVO website (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/already-have-a-visa/check-visa-details).

2. Create an ImmiAccount:

   • If you don’t have an ImmiAccount, click on “Create ImmiAccount” and follow the instructions.
   • Provide your personal details, such as name, date of birth, and email address.

3. Log In to VEVO:

   • Once your ImmiAccount is created, log in using your email address and password.

4. Enter Visa Information:

   • Select “Check visa details” from the menu.
   • Enter the following information:
     • Passport number
     • Visa grant number (if available)
     • Date of birth
     • Nationality

5. View Visa Details:

   • If the information entered is correct, VEVO will display your visa details, including:
     • Visa type
     • Visa status
     • Visa conditions
     • Expiry date

6. Share Visa Information (Optional):

   • If you need to share your visa information with third parties, such as employers or international authorities, you can generate a VEVO share code.
   • Click on “Generate share code” and provide the email address of the recipient.
   • The recipient will receive an email with a link to access the verified visa information.

Additional Information

• VEVO is a free service provided by the Australian Department of Home Affairs.
