Dear Valued Customer,
The Australian High Commission has introduced its new visa application lodgment arrangements for applicants in Sri Lanka, effective from 8 February2011, which will include the collection of biometrics.
To enable the lodgement of visa applications & the collection of biometrics and to improve the quality of service to clients, Australia has entered intoa new service delivery partnership with VFS Global in Sri Lanka. The Australian VFS Global Visa Application Centre (AVAC) in Sri Lanka is located at:
Level 5,
Access Towers,
278 Union Place Colombo 2,
Sri Lanka.
In Sri Lanka all people lodging paper-based applications, including any dependants listed as travelling in the application, regardless of nationality, will need to attend the AVAC in person to lodge their application and/or provide their biometrics. Applicants will also need to present in person to the AVAC to collect their passports once a decision has been made on their application.
The AVAC will provide a convenient, fast and accessible way for clients to apply for visas to enter Australia. The AVAC will forward visa applications to the Australian High Commission in Colombo for assessment and decision.
Clients will not be charged an additional fee for the collection of their biometrics. However, clients will still be required to pay the Australian Visa Application Charge. This can be submitted to the AVAC at the time the visa application is lodged.
Further information on lodgement will be available from Thursday on the following websites: www.srilanka.embassy.gov.au and www.vfsglobal.com/australia/srilanka
The program is designed to protect the identity of genuine applicants and improve trust and confidence in the visa process for travellers.
Please feel free to contact us for further clarifications.
Thanking You,
Liswith
