Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument revokes an earlier notice and sets fixed local-currency equivalents for Australian visa application charges, effective 1 January 2009. It affects visa applicants who pay in the listed foreign currencies and the offices that accept those payments. It matters because it fixes what must be tendered in each currency and how collectors must record payments, so applicants and payment points rely on the table rather than live exchange rates.
