Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument provides a conversion table so people applying for Australian visas from overseas can pay fees in local currencies instead of AUD. It lists equivalent amounts for a range of currencies (e.g. GBP, EUR, CNY, BRL, BDT) so applicants and overseas posts know the exact amount to collect.

Signed by a delegate on 29 May 2012 and effective 1 July 2012, it replaces the prior 2011 table to prevent under- or overpayment and related application delays.
