From 1 September 2015, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection will stop issuing visa labels to Australian visa holders. Visa holders will no longer be able to request a visa label even if they are prepared to pay for the service.
Australian visas are granted and recorded electronically. A visa is linked to the visa holder’s passport number. Visa holders, registered Australian organisations and airline staff can check visa details online through the free Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service and the recently introduced myVEVO mobile app.
