Introduction of Visa Evidence Charge
From 24 November, Visa holders who choose to request a visa label as evidence of their visa grant will be charged AUD70 (LKR9800) per label for this service. This cost for a visa label is called the Visa Evidence Charge (VEC). It is the traveller's responsibility to confirm other countries' entry, transit or exit requirements before travel to Australia.
Visa holders should utilise the Visa label request and payment Form 1405 when requesting a visa label through an AVAC; requests for a visa label cannot be verbal. If Form 1405 is not submitted, then a request in writing is required. A request for a visa label and payment of the VEC should be requested after a visa has been granted. When the visa holder requests a visa label, there will be an additional service fee.
