Key Points
- Australia will introduce a new app for foreign nationals to track their visa status
Overview
The Government of Australia announced the upcoming release of a new version of the “myVEVO” app in late June 2024. According to the government, the app will allow visa holders to conveniently check their Australian visa details, including visa expiry date, work and study rights, and travel conditions. The updated app will feature:
- Enhanced design and flow for easier use
- Improved cybersecurity for better account protection
- Increased readability and accessibility for both Android and iOS devices
This new version of the “myVEVO” app represents a significant step forward in digital innovation for visa management. By prioritizing user experience and security, the government aims to provide a more efficient and reliable tool for visa holders. The enhanced app is expected to reduce the need for visa holders to contact immigration services for basic information, thereby freeing up resources for more complex queries and support. Additionally, the emphasis on accessibility ensures that the app can serve a broader range of users, including those with disabilities. Feedback from early testers has been positive, with many appreciating the intuitive interface and robust security features, signaling a successful rollout later this month.
