Subject: Sponsored Family Visitor Information
This email is to highlight the announcement made on 12 March by the Minister regarding changes to Visitor visa regulations. http://www.minister.immi.gov.au/media/bo/2013/bo194165.htm
We encourage you to disseminate this advice to your community members. The really important thing for you to be aware of is any applications made on old forms will be returned as invalid.
From Saturday 23 March, visitors seeking a new visa to enter Australia for non-work purposes will need to apply for a new Visitor (Subclass 600) visa, or if eligible, the new Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) or the eVisitor (Subclass 651) visa. These visas will allow for tourism, family visits, and business visitor activities (undertaking of business enquiries and contractual negotiations, Government to Government visits and attending conferences). These visas will not allow business visitors to perform work.
People who seek to lodge an application for the new Visitor visa (subclass 600) Family Sponsored stream, formerly the Sponsored Family Visitor visa (subclass 679) will find the following changes:
· a new application form (form 1418 to replace form 48S) ;
· application forms to be completed for each person applying to visit Australia, including dependent children – there will no longer be “combined applications”;
· the Visa Application Charge (VAC) will be $115.00 for each person on the application;
· a new version of the sponsorship form 1149; and
· applications to be mailed/couriered to the specified address(es) – no in-person lodgement possible.
The department intends to progressively expand access to online lodgement of the Visitor (subclass 600) visa to all countries by 2013-14. People who hold a visa issued before 23 March 2013 will continue to be able to use that visa until it expires.
For further information on these changes please go to:

Please do not hesitate to call 131 881 if you require any further details.
