Fees and Cost of Visa Subclass 462

The Australia Visa 462 fee is AUD 495. As this visa does not permit you to add any co-applicant, the fee amount is the same for all applicants. However, the visa 462 cost can be different because of the following factors:

• All applicants have to satisfy health requirements. You have to undergo health checkups to fulfil these requirements. These health checks cost you money. This expense is separate from the 462 Visa fee.
• All applicants have to be 18 years or more. Therefore, submitting character certificates is compulsory for all applicants. You have to approach the specific police authorities in your respective countries to obtain this character certificate. These expenses do not form part of the Australian 462 Visa fee.

Similarly, you have to submit your biometrics when applying for Visa Subclass 462. The biometrics includes your fingerprints and face structure (photographs). The costs incurred for the biometrics are over and above the Visa 462 fee.

The Mode of Payment of Visa 462 Fee

The department accepts only the online mode or payment. There are no provisions for making payment otherwise using cash, checks, or bank drafts. You can make your online payment at the time of applying for the visa using your ImmiAccount. These include:

• Pay using your credit card. The department accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club cards, and prepaid credit cards. You should ensure to intimate your bank or credit card service provider that you wish to pay for your 462 Visa fees using your ImmiAccount. It is necessary because the banks might stipulate restrictions on international payments due to security reasons. Intimating them in advance can result in the lifting of the limits.
• Pay using your Visa and MasterCard debit cards.
• Pay using your PayPal account. However, the PayPal servers could be outside Australia. Hence, you should exercise care while using this facility.
• Pay using Union Pay or BPAY. These are also accepted online payment methods.

The department does not process any visa application without receiving the Australia 462 visa fees. You have to submit evidence of paying the fees when you apply for the 462 Visa.

In case you do not have an ImmiAccount, you can create one at any time. We assist you in the creation of your ImmiAccount. You will need this account to submit any further clarifications sought by the department.
