From 2 April 2025, the Department of Home Affairs has introduced a new online feature that allows certain Parent visa applicants to import their paper applications into ImmiAccount.
While parent visa applications still need to be lodged using paper forms, applicants now have access to additional digital functionality for easier tracking and communication.
The new import function in ImmiAccount gives Parent visa applicants easier access to their applications and enhances communication with the Department of Home Affairs. It’s available for both new and existing applications, except for some older Subclass 103 cases which are lodged before November 2018. Once imported, applicants can manage updates, add documents, and view important updates online—streamlining the process significantly.
