The Department of Home Affairs has expanded the Australian Immi App to an additional 19 countries, bringing the total number of supported locations to 34. This expansion, effective from 24 November 2025.
The eligible applicants from the following countries can now use the Australian Immi App:
Algeria, Bahrain, Colombia, Egypt, Fiji, France, Greece, Hong Kong (SAR of the People’s Republic of China), Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand (third‑country nationals), Oman, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Qatar, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Tonga, Türkiye, Tuvalu, United Arab Emirates, and Vanuatu.
Key Features of the Immi App Expansion:
- Facial Biometrics and Passport Information: Eligible visa applicants can now submit their facial biometrics and passport information via the app, eliminating the need to attend in-person biometric collection centres.
- No Cost to Use: The app is free to use, and it streamlines the visa application process by reducing costs and travel time for applicants.
- Eligibility Requirements: To use the Immi App, applicants must have previously submitted their biometrics (facial image and fingerprints) to the Department and hold a valid passport.
A final rollout to all remaining countries participating in Australia’s biometric collection program is scheduled for early 2026, further expanding access to the Immi App and enhancing global access to Australia’s visa system.
