The Australian government’s 2009-10 budget includes a 20% increase in application charges for a number of visa categories, effective July 1, 2009. This measure will increase revenue by $400 million (Australian) over four years and is intended to help offset the costs associated with operating the migration and temporary entrant program.
A list of visa application charges is available on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website.
