New Employer Sponsored Visa Program Enquiry Form: What It Covers And When To Use It
The Department of Home Affairs has launched a new online enquiry form specifically designed for employer-sponsored visa applicants across subclasses 186, 187, 482, and 494. This form streamlines communication for priority processing requests, family member additions, travel needs, and other critical application matters that previously required multiple contact channels.
The Department of Home Affairs has introduced a new Employer Sponsored Visa Program Enquiry Form for applicants in the employer sponsored programs. It applies to subclasses 186, 187, 482 and 494.
The Department advises that applicants should review the information on the form page first. Questions already answered there will not be responded to.
What the Form Can Be Used For
The form can be used to:
- request priority processing based on compelling and compassionate circumstances
- add a partner or child born before lodgement, where the visa allows it
- notify the Department of a newborn child
- request a letter from the Department to apply for a police certificate
- request more time to provide documents
