The Australian government says that visa applicants can now submit their applications through the Australian Immi App, which allows them to provide facial biometric data and passport details directly from their mobile phones.
In a post on X, Australia’s High Commissioner to Pakistan, Tim Kane, wrote that applying for a visa from Pakistan is now “easier than ever,” and shared a link to the Australian Department of Home Affairs website.
According to the website, the Immi App, available on both Android and iOS, enables eligible applicants to submit their passport details and a facial photograph.

Australia’s Department of Home Affairs said that to provide identity information through the Australian Immi App, applicants must have a letter instructing them to submit biometrics, containing a visa lodgement number (VLN) beginning with AUI or AUH, along with a valid passport.
It further says that the applicant’s mobile device must have location access and Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled, and the app must be granted permission to use the camera.
A five-step guide for completing biometric identity verification has also been provided.
The website explains that the “Australian Immi App will send your passport details and facial images to the Department of Home Affairs,” and adds that if there are no issues, the applicant’s account should be updated within 24 hours.
