Visas and Immigration
What's New?
***IMPORTANT INFORMATION***
The Australian Embassy in Amman no longer processes Partner visas and Prospective Marriage visas for clients residing in Iraq, Jordan, Syrian Arab Republic. Effective 13 December 2018, Partner visas and Prospective Marriage visa applications that were formerly lodged and processed in Amman have been transferred to and are now processed at the Australian Embassy in Beirut. You are therefore required to direct all further correspondence or information regarding your application to the following email address: Immigration.beirut@dfat.gov.au.
You should keep your own application updated and correct by uploading your documents directly to your ImmiAccount for electronically lodged applications. Your case officer can see when you have uploaded documents to your ImmiAccount.
