The Australian government announced an increase in visa application fees for most visa subclasses, effective July 1.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The Fair Work High Income Threshold (FWHIT) has also been increased to AU$175,000 (from AU$167,500). This protection exists under the Fair Work Act for applicants over the age of 45 years against unfair dismissal. The minimum salary threshold (TSMIT) has also increased to AU$73,150 (from AU$70,000). Finally, the government has implemented a significant increase in student visa fees to AU$1,600, representing a 125% jump from the previous fee of AU$710.
BAL Analysis: Employers should take the new fees into account when planning their 2024 budgets. These changes impact many prospective applicants and current visa holders. More information on visa application charges can be found here.
