Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does This legislative instrument sets the official exchange rates for paying Australian visa application charges and fees in foreign currencies. It works like a price list: if you owe a specific amount in Australian dollars for a visa, these tables tell you exactly how much to pay in your local currency.

Who it affects Anyone applying for an Australian visa from overseas who pays in a currency other than Australian dollars (AUD).

How it works The instrument contains detailed conversion tables for 44 currencies, including US Dollars, Euros, British Pounds, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupees, and many others. Each table lists specific AUD amounts (ranging from $10 to over $40,000) and the corresponding amount in the foreign currency.

Key change This replaces the previous currency conversion table from December 2010 with updated rates, ensuring visa fees reflect current exchange rates.
