Common questions
What this visa matching tool does—and does not do.
Does this check whether I am eligible for an Australian visa?+
No. It creates an initial shortlist from five broad answers. Eligibility can depend on occupation, passport, sponsorship, health, character, current visa conditions and evidence not collected here.
Are my answers stored?+
No. Your answers remain in the current browser session and are not sent to the server or attached to an account.
Where does the visa information come from?+
Each result links to the Australian Department of Home Affairs. The wording here is a plain-language starting point, and the official record remains the source to verify before acting.
Why might the finder show fewer than three visas?+
Some purposes have one clear visa class, while age or location can rule out common routes. Showing fewer options is more useful than padding the result with unrelated visas.
