Temporary Graduate visa application fees to increase

The Australian Government has announced an uplift to the Visa Application Charge (VAC) for Temporary Graduate visas, as outlined in the 2026-27 Budget. This means applicants for these visas will need to pay a higher fee when submitting their applications. Temporary Graduate visas allow international students who have completed their studies in Australia to work and gain professional experience. The fee increase is part of government changes to visa charges. For the specific amount of the new charge and the date it comes into effect, applicants should check the Home Affairs website or contact Home Affairs directly, as the document provided does not contain these details in a readable format. If you are planning to apply for a Temporary Graduate visa, it is recommended you check the current fees on the official Home Affairs website before submitting your application.
