ISLAMABAD/DNA, NOV 25 /DNA/: The process to apply for an Australian visa just got easier in Pakistan, thanks to the rollout of the Australian Immi App.
From today, eligible applicants in Pakistan can use the free Australian Immi App to submit passport details and facial biometrics directly from their smartphones—without needing to travel to a biometric collection centre. To be eligible, clients must have previously provided their biometrics (facial image and fingerprints) to the Department of Home Affairs, and hold a valid passport.
Australian High Commissioner, Timothy Kane said this is a major step forward in making the Australian visa process easier and more accessible for people in Pakistan.
“The Australian Immi App allows travellers, students and skilled workers to provide their details securely from their phone, saving time and travel costs,” he said.
Launched in 2024, the Australian Immi App has already proven to be a success across the Pacific and Asia, helping thousands of applicants complete visa requirements quickly and securely.
With this latest rollout, the app is now available in 34 countries, including new access across the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America and Europe.
“We encourage all eligible visa applicants in Pakistan to use the app. It’s secure, simple to use, and helps speed up visa applications—making travel to Australia easier and more convenient,” said High Commissioner Kane.
This rollout is part of the Department of Home Affairs’ ongoing program to modernise visa services and improve traveller facilitation worldwide.
The final global implementation of the app across all remaining countries in Australia’s Biometric Collection Program is scheduled for early 2026.
More information, including eligibility details and user guidance, is available on the Department of Home Affairs website: Australian Immi App<https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/supporting/Pages/australian-immi-app.aspx>.
