Australia has expanded its digital visa system to 34 countries, allowing eligible Pakistani applicants to submit key details through the Australian Immi App without visiting a biometric centre. The Australian High Commission in Pakistan has announced that the Australian Immi App is now available for visa applicants in the country. The app allows eligible users to send their passport information and facial biometrics directly from their smartphones, said in a press release. According to the High Commission, the new facility removes the need for eligible applicants to travel to biometric collection centres. To use the app, applicants must have previously submitted their biometrics – both facial image and fingerprints – to Australia’s Department of Home Affairs and must hold a valid passport. Australian High Commissioner Timothy Kane said the move supports the government’s aim to make the visa process easier for travellers, students and skilled workers in Pakistan. He said the app gives applicants a secure way to share their details while reducing travel time and related costs. The Australian Immi App, introduced in 2024, has already been rolled out in several regions including the Pacific and Asia. Thousands of applicants in these regions have used the app to complete visa steps through a mobile device.
