VEVO shows exactly what your visa allows.
VEVO interpretation and status verification is handled by Sourabh Aggarwal, Pragya Gautam, and Gurjeev Bhalla from Brisbane, Darwin, and Gold Coast. Visa Entitlement Verification Online is the Department free online tool. Visa holders, employers, and registered agents can verify current visa status, conditions, expiry, and work rights. Here is how to use it and what it shows.
What VEVO shows
Four data points.
VEVO displays current visa information in real time.
Conditions attached
Every condition imposed on the visa. Includes condition numbers (8105, 8201, 8503) and descriptions.
Expiry date
Specific expiry date of the visa. Not the same as the bridging visa cut-off if one is active.
Work rights status
For visas with work rights, VEVO often displays specific work right status (limited, unlimited, etc.).
How to access VEVO
Three access paths.
Different users access VEVO through different pathways.
Visa holder accessLog in via ImmiAccount with Transaction Reference Number, passport details, date of birth.
Employer accessEmployers verify employee visa status via VEVO with employee consent and reference number.
Registered agent accessMigration agents can verify visa status for clients via agent portal with consent.
Government agency accessSome government agencies have VEVO access for their specific functions.
Common misunderstandings
Three misreadings that cause confusion.
VEVO is generally accurate but some outputs are easily misread.
Bridging visa not always shown clearly
Active bridging visa sometimes displays differently from substantive visa. Read the visa class field carefully.
Work rights presentation varies
Conditions like 8105 (student 48-hour cap) show as a condition rather than as "limited work rights" explicitly.
Recent grants take hours to appear
Very recent visa grants may take hours or rarely a day to appear. Brief delays normal.
VEVO is the definitive source for current visa status.
Old paper visa labels and emails are not definitive; VEVO is. If VEVO shows a visa expired, it is expired regardless of any paper document suggesting otherwise. Always verify through VEVO before making decisions based on visa status.
Common questions
The questions we hear most.
For VEVO interpretation, book with Sourabh Aggarwal.
Is VEVO free?
Yes. Free to visa holders, employers with consent, and agents with consent.
Can I check someone else visa via VEVO?
Only with their consent and reference details. VEVO is not a general lookup tool.
What if VEVO shows incorrect information?
Contact the Department. Errors are rare but possible. Do not rely on incorrect VEVO output.
Does VEVO show my bridging visa?
Usually yes when the bridging visa is active. May show as separate entry from substantive visa.
