VEVO visa check
Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) lets a visa holder check the details and conditions of a current visa. Employers, education providers and other registered organisations can also use it with the visa holder’s permission. You only ever need your own travel document details. Never share your ImmiAccount password or login codes with anyone.
Checked against the Department of Home Affairs pages listed below on 22-10-2026.
Check your own visa
-
Open the Department’s “Check conditions online (VEVO)” page and select “Check your own visa details”.
-
Choose the type of travel document the visa is linked to. VEVO accepts a passport, an ImmiCard, a Convention Travel Document (Titre de Voyage), a Document for Travel To Australia (DFTTA) or a PLO56 Evidence Card.
-
Complete the details the form asks for and select “Submit”.
-
Read the result. It shows the visa you hold, its expiry date, the “must not arrive after” date, how long you can stay, and the conditions of the visa (what you can and cannot do).
- You do not need an ImmiAccount to check your own visa.
What VEVO can and cannot show
VEVO only shows a visa that is currently in effect. If you hold a bridging visa while your earlier visa has not yet ended, VEVO cannot show details of the visa that is not yet in effect. VEVO cannot confirm Australian citizenship; a citizenship certificate or an Australian passport does that. If you migrated before 1990 and have not travelled out of Australia since, you may not have an electronic record of your permanent visa. The Department explains how to request one on its “Proof of permanent residence” page.
If you are an employer or other organisation
A registered organisation can check someone else’s visa details, but only for people who have given it permission. The organisation first needs an ImmiAccount (see our ImmiAccount guide), then uses the organisation VEVO login. Everyone working in Australia has basic workplace rights, whatever their visa.

If something has gone wrong with your application
A missed deadline, a request you do not understand, a refusal or a cancellation can be hard to deal with alone. If that has happened, talk to a lawyer before you reply to the Department.
