Passport details
Your visa is linked to the passport number you used in your application and you must use the same passport to travel to Australia.
If you do obtain a new passport, you must advise the department of the new passport details before you travel to Australia. Otherwise, you will experience significant delays at the airport and could be denied permission to board your plane.
Interviews
If you are invited to an interview, you must attend on the agreed time and date. If you do not, the department will make a decision on the basis of the information it already has.
Invitation to comment
If another person gives the department information that could result in you being refused a visa, the department will give you an opportunity to comment on the information. You will need to comment by a set date.
How to apply
How you complete and lodge your application will depend on where you live.
