This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Ministerial determination fixes foreign-currency equivalents of Australian visa application fees, replacing the previous April 2008 rates and taking effect 1 July 2008. It provides a conversion table showing how much to pay in many major currencies when applicants opt to pay outside Australia in their local currency.
It affects anyone applying for an Australian visa from overseas who chooses to pay the fee in a foreign currency rather than in Australian dollars.
