Checking visa details

The Department has developed a new service called Entitlement Verification Online (EVO) which
allows certain third parties to check visa information with your consent.
Through EVO, visa holders can give their consent to registered third parties such as:

• employers and labour suppliers, to help check whether the visa allows the holder to work in
Australia;
• government agencies, to help assess the visa holder’s eligibility for services;
• licensing authorities, to help establish the visa holder’s eligibility for a licence; and
• educational institutions, to assess whether the visa holder can study in Australia.

The disclosure of a holder’s visa information by the Department is governed by the Privacy Act 1988.
Therefore, the Department will disclose information about the visas to a third party only with the visa
holder’s consent. You can consent to an inquiry about the visa entitlements by giving the third party
your name, date of birth, passport number and passport country of issue. If you do not wish a third
party to find out about your visa entitlements, do not provide this information.

The information form 993i Safeguarding your personal information, available on the Department’s
website (www.immi.gov.au) or from Immigration offices, gives details of third parties to which you can
consent to your personal information being disclosed, and how you can consent.

Living in Australia
This visa entitles you to work in Australia, however there is no guarantee of employment in Australia.

Your sponsor is responsible for assisting you financially and with accommodation in Australia following
the grant of this visa.
