MY AUS VISA — APPLYING WHILE LIVING OUTSIDE YOUR PASSPORT COUNTRY
Reviewed: 27 September 2026

This is a private planning aid, not an official application or a fixed document list. Keep passport numbers, residence records and visa references on your own device.

TRAVEL DOCUMENT AND VISA
[ ] Record the citizenship and exact passport type I will use to enter Australia. Check any second citizenship or travel document separately.
[ ] Use the official visa page for my real purpose. Check its application and decision location rules before I lodge.
[ ] If considering ETA 601 or eVisitor 651, check the passport eligibility list. Residence in an eligible country alone does not qualify my passport.

WHERE I ACTUALLY LIVE
[ ] Record my current country and residential address truthfully in the application.
[ ] For a Visitor 600 temporary trip, identify genuine work, study, family, financial and lawful-residence records that explain my usual circumstances, where relevant.
[ ] Check whether my right to return to my country of residence remains valid for my planned trip; this is a separate local-law question.
[ ] Translate non-English records as the chosen visa page and ImmiAccount request.

AFTER LODGEMENT
[ ] Watch ImmiAccount and email for a biometrics, health, character or document request.
[ ] If biometrics are requested, read the letter and the current service options for where I am. Use the Immi App only if my location and AUI-numbered letter qualify.
[ ] If I will live at a new residential address for more than 14 days while the application is processed, update Home Affairs through ImmiAccount.
[ ] Before travelling to Australia while a decision is pending, recheck the chosen visa's decision-location rule and my current right to enter Australia.
[ ] Read the written outcome and check the passport, dates, entries and conditions before travel.
