What is VEVO?

VEVO is a secure, free online service provided by the Department of Home Affairs. It allows visa holders, employers, and educational institutions to check current visa details and conditions. Since Australia does not issue physical visa labels in passports, VEVO is your primary proof of your legal status.

Step-by-Step Guide to Checking Your Status

Checking your visa status takes just a few minutes. Here is what you need to do:

• Step 1: Visit the official VEVO website via the Department of Home Affairs portal or download the "myVEVO" mobile app.

• Step 2: Select "Check your own visa details with VEVO."

• Step 3: Enter your Passport or ImmiCard number.

• Step 4: Provide your Reference Number. This can be your Transaction Reference Number (TRN), Visa Grant Number, or Visa Evidence Number (found on your grant letter).

• Step 5: Enter your Date of Birth and Country of Passport.

• Step 6: Submit the form to view your current status, expiry date, and specific conditions (such as your fortnightly work hour limits).

Why Do You Need to Check VEVO Regularly?

Ignorance of visa conditions is not an accepted excuse in Australia. You should use VEVO to:

• Prove your work rights to a new employer in Australia.

• Confirm exactly when your current visa expires so you can apply for an extension or a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) on time.

• Verify your travel facilities (whether you are allowed multiple entries in and out of the country).
