Before
Visa application charges followed Australia's 2025-26 programme-year schedule.
After
Official pricing now shows 2026-27 programme-year base application charges: Visitor (subclass 600) from AUD 250, Student (subclass 500) from AUD 2,500, and Partner (subclasses 820/801) from AUD 11,710.
Traveler action
Re-check the official price for your subclass before lodging, and budget against the current pricing table rather than older quotes or third-party fee lists.
Current charges read directly from the official Department of Home Affairs visa listing pages on 1 July 2026; prior-year amounts and percentage changes are deliberately omitted because no official archive was cited. Visa rules change without notice. Always confirm with the embassy, consulate or the official government source linked above before you book or travel.
