Australia has widened access to its digital visa platform, with the Australian Immi App now available in 34 countries following a new rollout on 24 November 2025.
The Department of Home Affairs added 19 countries to the system in its latest expansion, giving more applicants the ability to submit facial biometrics and passport details through their mobile phones. The app removes the need to attend biometric collection centres and is free to use, offering a faster and more convenient alternative for eligible users.
To qualify, applicants must already have provided their biometrics to the Department of Home Affairs in the past and must hold a valid passport. Officials say the expansion supports the government’s commitment to modernising visa services and improving access for people around the world.
The Department of Home Affairs confirmed a final rollout to all remaining countries in Australia’s biometric collection program by early 2026.
