Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument revokes earlier notices and supplies a new schedule of fixed foreign‑currency amounts that correspond to Australian‑dollar visa application charges under regulation 5.36(1A)(a) of the Migration Regulations 1994, commencing 1 January 2011. It affects people who pay visa fees in currencies other than AUD and the offices that accept those payments: the delegate sets the listed amounts, and payers and payment processors must use the table (not live exchange rates) to satisfy the AUD fee.
