Account, Security, and Contacts in Australia: what actually matters to know

From real experience

tipWhen entering a Russian mobile number in an Australian visa application form, use the international country code '7'.
If the form does not allow '7' as the first digit, ensure you are entering it in the correct format (e.g., after a '+' symbol, or in a dedicated country code field), or use '7' and then the 10-digit number without the leading '8' used for domestic calls.

ruleFor Australian visa application portal security, two-factor authentication is often required.
Options typically include SMS, email, or an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator). The Google Authenticator app is free, despite initial subscription prompts. It generates one-time codes for login, enhancing account security.

how-toIf a passport is renewed after visa submission, the VEVO status may still show the old passport.
To update: contact the Department of Home Affairs via email or phone, stating the urgency. Updates generally take 24-48 hours. The visa grant number remains the same; the system verifies entry via the new passport details.

tipTo access ImmiAccount without the mandatory authenticator app: look for the 'I need another option' link in the bottom-left corner of the MFA setup page.
This allows users to opt for email-based verification instead of using Google Authenticator or similar apps.
