01

Check your visa and work conditions

Use VEVO to see your current visa conditions and share proof with an employer. Your grant letter and VEVO are the starting points for checking which conditions apply to you.

02

Check when your permission to stay ends

Check the dates and conditions in your visa record. If your visa is expiring or has expired, use Home Affairs guidance promptly. A points estimate does not extend your visa.

03

Check before travelling on a bridging visa

Of the bridging visas, only a Bridging visa B permits departure and return during its specified travel period. Other bridging visas in effect cease when you leave. Check your actual status before arranging travel.

Prepare for a skilled visa expression of interest

Check occupation eligibility, skills assessment and English evidence before completing SkillSelect. Keep your EOI accurate when circumstances change. Meeting the 65-point threshold does not guarantee an invitation.

Skilled visa processing priorities changed

Home Affairs now uses Direction 121 for subclass 482 and Direction 122 for specified provisional and permanent skilled visas, including 189, 190, 191 and 491. They replace Direction 119. Priority depends on factors including sector and circumstances at lodgement. This concerns application processing order; it is not an invitation forecast or a new points score.
