Visa Information
Permanent Entry Visas
Permanent entry visa applications (except general skilled, business skills and parent subclasses) from Argentina are lodged, processed and decided in Brasilia, Brazil.
While permanent entry visa applications may be lodged at any post, it is recommended that they be lodged direct with Brasilia, as forwarding documents from other posts can take up to a month. However, fees/charges can be paid at any post, and the receipt should then be sent by the applicant with the application direct to Brasilia.

Temporary entry visa applications from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay are lodged, processed and decided in Buenos Aires.
416 Special Program applications are lodged and processed at the Hobart Special Program Processing Centre
420 Entertainment sponsorship and visa applications are lodged and processed at the Sydney Entertainment Processing Centre
From 2 April 2005, Sponsored Family Visitor visa (subclass 679) applications must be lodged by the sponsor at a State or Territory office within Australia.

Please ask your employer which office they lodged these papers at. For the office address, see: Contact details in Australia
