The Department of Home Affairs has launched a new free mobile phone app called Australian Immi App (the app) which provides facial biometric capture and verification capability.
The Department will initially release the app for use across the Pacific for visa applicants located in:
- Fiji
- Samoa
- Tonga
- Papua New Guinea.
- Third-country nationals located in New Zealand
Applicants that have provided biometrics before at an Australian biometric collection centre can provide facial biometrics and passport details with the app and they won’t need to travel to a collection centre.
Eligible applicants will receive a letter from the Department, inviting them to download and use the app.
Members can find this information on the Department’s website.
