What do you need to tell the Immigration Department?

It depends! Some visas require you to update the Immigration Department on changes in your circumstances, including where you live and work. It is part of the conditions on your visa. Permanent residents have less obligations, but it would work in your favour to let the Department know major changes in your life.

If our 190 visa is processing and currently on 485 visa, If we change address, do we need to inform Immi Department about change of address as 190 visa isn’t yet granted? Thanks Karl & Team 🙏🏽

[@akshilpatel9616]

Thank you Karl for the very informative video.

[@handmadewoolenstuffwithsan6703]

Dear Sir, in the start of video you said that offshore applicants need to inform the department about any changes before and after the visa grant before entering Australia. Then in the end of video you said that permanent resident don't need to inform the department about any changes. My question is what if the applicant is offshore and granted Permanent Residency? Do they need to inform the department?

Hi Karl, thanks for making this video. I have a very similar question already asked here in the comment section but I found it's one year old. I got married one day after I was granted the Sub-class 476 visa and in the same way the Immigration Department has asked to update them using the Form 1022; Notification of Change in Circumstances but where do i need to send this Paper form? Could you please let me know? It will be of great help.

Hi Karl, I didn't have a change in situation but upon landing Australia, however, I was unable to identify my identity across different channels with the DHA. It seems like although the DHA corrected my name for my visa (since it is reflected correctly in VEVO), some systems are still showing my name with a typo. Do you know if this is something the DHA can help with correcting? Not sure how true it is but multiple insitutions have gotten back to me saying they can't use my phsyical passport as proof if the system is showing incorrectly...

[@PinkRobinCamp]

@RC-gw7xv wow sorry it sounded very inconvenience. Hey, I hope you have found a solution around that, I am being granted skilled visa in NSW but I gotten a job offer in VIC.. the thing is HR has no clue as to advise me on the next steps upon arrival into Australia. I registered on VEVO, what should I do next to obtain ID to open bank account and etc. thanks in advance.
