DIBP surcharge to commence 22 March 2014

From 22 March 2014, the Department is implementing changes to enable the recovery of credit card merchant fees from clients via a surcharge on credit card payments for visa application charges (VACs) and other fees and charges. The surcharge will be applied to all clients who pay VACs and other fees and charges online and those who opt to pay at a departmental office by credit card.

The surcharge will be applied to all onshore and offshore applicants.

Full details of the surcharge will be communicated on the Department's website and at counters from 22 March.


All application forms have been updated for the new surcharge arrangements and will be available from 22 March.

Nevett Ford will provide updates once more information is made available on 22 March 2014.
