Using Forms and Booklets
How to use these forms
The forms and booklets on this website are designed to be printed out using your computer and printer.
PDF forms
To use a PDF application form, you will need to print a copy, and then fill in the form by hand.
Fillable PDF forms
A fillable PDF application form has fillable sections that can be typed in on a computer and then printed out and signed, rather than printing the form and filling in by hand.
Important: If you are viewing fillable PDF forms using Acrobat Reader®,you will not be able to save the information entered into that form. Complete the application first and then print out a copy.
Making a valid application
To make a valid application, an applicant is usually required to do all of the following:
- lodge a completed application form (if there is one)
- pay the visa application charge payable at the time of application (if required)
See: Fees & Charges - meet any other relevant requirements in Schedule 1 of the Migration Regulations.
An application is not valid, and cannot be considered, until all the above requirements have been met.
The application form used must be the appropriate form for the class of visa sought. The form must be completed in accordance with the form instructions.
Note: Some visa applications do not have an application form and/or no visa application charge is payable.
