This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
What it does: This instrument sets the exact amount visa applicants must pay in 46 different foreign currencies when applying for Australian visas. It contains large conversion tables matching Australian dollar visa fees (ranging from $10 to $42,220) to fixed amounts in local currencies—including Euros, British Pounds, US Dollars, Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupees, Japanese Yen, and Vietnamese Dong.
Who it affects: People applying for Australian visas at embassies or consulates overseas who want to pay in their local currency rather than Australian dollars.
Why it matters: Exchange rates fluctuate daily. These fixed tables give applicants certainty about exactly how much to pay in their local currency, preventing confusion about daily exchange rate movements or conversion fees.
