How to Import Your Visa Application into ImmiAccount?

 Importing your visa application into your personal ImmiAccount after it has been granted is generally a straightforward process, but there are some important considerations and potential risks to keep in mind.

Importing Your Visa Application

Steps to Import Your Application:

1. Create Your ImmiAccount:  Use your personal email address to set up an account.
2. Log In and Import:  Once logged in, select "Import Application" and enter the required details such as your Transaction Reference Number (TRN), passport number, date of birth, and nationality.
3. Confirmation:  After entering the information, you should receive a confirmation message indicating that your application has been successfully imported.

This process allows you to track the status of your visa without needing to rely on your former agent.

Risks and Considerations

• No Impact on Visa Outcome:  Importing your application itself does not affect the outcome of your visa. It's primarily for tracking purposes. However, you must avoid making any changes to the application details after importing, as this could lead to complications or misunderstandings with immigration authorities

• Agent Notification:  Your agent will not be directly notified of your action unless you make changes to the application. Importing is encouraged by the Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) as it allows applicants to stay informed about their visa status independently
