Navigating the complexities of visa regulations can be daunting, but Australia has streamlined the process with tools like Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) and the myVEVO app. These platforms are designed to provide visa holders, employers, education providers, and other organisations with easy access to visa details and conditions. Here is a comprehensive guide on how VEVO and myVEVO can assist you.
What is VEVO?
Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) is a critical resource that allows various stakeholders to verify visa details and conditions efficiently. VEVO offers crucial information about your current, in-effect visa, including:
- Which Visa: Specific details about the type of visa you hold.
- Expiry Date: The date your visa will expire.
- Must Not Arrive After Date: The last date you can enter Australia.
- Period of Stay: How long you are allowed to stay in Australia.
- Conditions: Specific rules and conditions tied to your visa, such as work and study rights.
It is important to note that VEVO does not provide information about visas that are not currently in effect. For example, if you hold a Bridging visa but your substantive visa is still valid, VEVO will not display details about the Bridging visa.
