Jeff Harvie’s Thought Of The Day – Visa Fees 2025

It’s that time of year again! New financial year. The Government cranks up the fees. Every year, same date!

Do I know what the fees are yet? No. They release them in readable form on 1 July every year. That means tomorrow (assuming you read this on 30 June.)

So please watch this space tomorrow for a summary of Government fees for the visa types that Down Under Visa manage. 

Down Under Visa Fees – Any increase?

Not now, no. We will remain reasonable, despite rises in the cost of living. But we have no control over Government fees as you know.
