It continues the simple function of specifying payment locations and currencies for migration fees, with no expansion beyond this operational purpose."},"complexity_factors":["Simple tabular structure with 62 place/currency entries","Some locations allow payment in alternative currencies (e.g., Bhutan accepts Ngultrum or Indian Rupee; Chile accepts Peso or US Dollar)","Minimal legal complexity - only references the empowering provision in Migration Regulations 1994","No conditional logic or nested exceptions beyond basic 'or' options for certain currencies"],"plain_english_summary":"This instrument tells you which currency to use when paying Australian visa and migration fees based on where you are in the world. It covers 62 places (countries and territories), listing the acceptable payment currency for each location.\n\n**Key points:**\n- **In Australia**: Pay in Australian Dollars\n- **Overseas**: Usually pay in the local currency (e.g., Japanese Yen in Japan, British Pounds in the UK)\n- **Alternative currencies**: Some places accept multiple options. For example, Bhutan accepts Bhutanese Ngultrum *or* Indian Rupees; Cambodia accepts US Dollars; Russia accepts Euros *or* Australian Dollars\n- **Why it matters**: This ensures visa applicants know exactly which currency to use when paying fees at Australian embassies, consulates, or online from their home country\n\nThis instrument replaced an earlier version (LIN 22/002) and took effect on 1 July 2022."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-places-and-currencies-for-paying-of-fees-instrument-lin-22-004-2022-no-2","history":"/api/acts/migration-places-and-currencies-for-paying-of-fees-instrument-lin-22-004-2022-no-2/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-places-and-currencies-for-paying-of-fees-instrument-lin-22-004-2022-no-2/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-places-and-currencies-for-paying-of-fees-instrument-lin-22-004-2022-no-2/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-places-and-currencies-for-paying-of-fees-instrument-lin-22-004-2022-no-2/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-places-and-currencies-for-paying-of-fees-instrument-lin-22-004-2022-no-2/documents"}}
