Why should I become a citizen?

Main content

Australian citizenship is an important step in your migration story. Becoming an Australian citizen means that you are making an ongoing commitment to Australia and all that this country stands for. It is also the beginning of your formal membership of the Australian community. It is the step that will enable you to say ‘I am Australian’.

Australian citizenship is a privilege that offers enormous rewards. By becoming an Australian citizen, you are joining a unique national community. Our country has been built on the combined contributions of our Indigenous people and those who came later from all over the world. We celebrate this diversity and at the same time, strive for a unified and harmonious nation.

The strength of the Australian community means that we work together to solve problems and to make Australia the great country that it is. We have a stable system of government and Australians respect the authority and laws of the government. Our stability, our culture and our laws have been shaped by our history. By joining the Australian community, you will inherit this history and you will be in a position to contribute to it.

Do I need a visa label in my passport?

No. Australian authorities do not require a visa label in your passport to travel to, or enter or remain in Australia.

All Australia bound international commercial airlines and cruise ships are required to verify with Australian authorities that you have an Australian visa before you travel to Australia. Information on your visa status and entitlements is available on the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system.

When you are in Australia you can access this information at any time using the VEVO system. Employers, banks and government services can also check details about your visa entitlements once they have your consent to do so.
Note: Organisations and individuals need to register to access VEVO.

What is VEVO?

VEVO is a free online facility that allows visa holders and organisations to see details of currentvisas.

Organisations will only be able to see certain information relating to your status and entitlements.  You as the visa holder are provided with more detailed information including:

• class and subclass of your visa
• grant and expiry dates
• grant number
• entries allowed
• all conditions that apply to your visa.

See: Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO)

Are there any situations where I could be asked to show a visa label in my passport?

Foreign governments are aware that Australia does not require a visa label.

You should check with the relevant government authorities regarding requirements to show a visa label in your passport when you transit through or exit a country. The Australian Government cannot advise on other countries’ requirements.

What if I'm asked by my prospective Australian employer, school or bank to get a visa label?

A visa label is not required by the Australian immigration authority. Work, study and residence entitlements of visa holders can be verified online using VEVO. With your consent, the enquiring organisation can use VEVO to check your visa status and entitlements.
See: Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO)

Important things to remember:

Keep a copy of your grant letter with your passport when you travel, this letter contains all the important information about your visa.

Other things to keep in mind include:

• Australian authorities do not require you to have a visa label in your passport.
• Confirm requirements for visa labels with relevant authorities if you are transiting through or exiting a country.
• Once in Australia you can check your visa information online using VEVO.
• Employers, schools, banks and other organisations can check your entitlements online with your consent using VEVO.

Changes to Australian Visa Service Delivery in China

From 3 September 2012 the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is changing the way immigration services will be delivered in China.

The two key changes include the:

• Introduction of Australian Visa Application Centres (AVACs) in Beijing and Shanghai
• Changes to visa processing locations.

Introduction of AVACs

Two AVACs operated by VFS Global Pty Ltd, will be opened in Beijing and Shanghai on 3 September 2012.

The AVACs will:

• accept visa applications and charges
• handle basic enquiries from clients before application is lodged
• return passports
• provide an online application tracking facility.

The introduction of AVACs will provide more convenient access to immigration services for clients through greater access to information, extended service hours and streamlined processing.

Changes to visa processing locations

In addition to the introduction of AVACs, there will also be changes to where certain visa applications are processed in China from 3 September 2012.

Consolidating visa processing for certain visa applications into processing centres will enable a greater level of consistency in processing and decision-making and will improve the service the department provides to clients in this region.

Impact on clients

These changes mean from 3 September 2012, clients who reside in provinces within the Beijing and Shanghai catchment areas applying for an Australian visa should lodge their application at an AVAC in either Beijing or Shanghai.

Clients submitting their visa application by post or courier will generally be required to send their visa application directly to the AVAC in the location of the relevant processing office.

The exception to this will be clients lodging an Adoption (subclass 102) visa or Resident Return (subclass 155/157) visa who should submit their application to the Australian visa office at the Australian Consulate Guangzhou.

Clients in the Guangzhou catchment applying in person for an Australian visa should continue to lodge their application directly with the Australian Visa Office at the Australian Consulate in Guangzhou.

Temporary Residence (Non-Business) visas should be submitted directly to the AVAC in Beijing.

There will be no change to the current lodgement and processing arrangements for Government officials applying via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) or their local Foreign Affairs Office (FAO), Australian Destination Status (ADS) travel or Australian citizenship by Descent applications which should continue to be lodged directly with the nearest Australian Visa Office.

Applications will continue to be assessed and decided by the Australian visa office. Staff at the AVAC will have no involvement in the decision–making process or have any knowledge of the application outcome.

More Information

Specific details about visa lodgement and processing arrangements will be provided on the department's website in the coming weeks.

New research on Studying in Australia: Views from six key countries

Australian Education International recently published the results of a survey they conducted in six of Australia's largest source countries for international students which examines perceptions of studying in Australia.

The survey results concluded that the three most important factors in deciding where to study were the quality of education, the cost of tuition and the cost of living. It also concluded that about 90 per cent of prospective students thought that Australia's visa system was not difficult or complex. Students ranked Australia as taking the shortest time to process student visas, and ranked the United Kingdom and the United States of America as taking the longest.

  See: Passport Format

PLO56 holders

Visa holders may not hold a passport or a valid travel document and have been issued with an identity document commonly referred to as a PLO56.
