Permission to use Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) throughout the agreed engagement period.
- As discussed, and further to our signed engagement with you, we will need to access the Department of Home Affairs VEVO website system from time to time throughout our engagement period to confirm your current visa status and advise you accordingly regarding your visa matter. We are required by the Department to seek your written permission to access the VEVO website so that you can make an informed decision about whether to allow us access to your personal information.
- Each person over 16 years of age must provide their written consent for necessary VEVO checks including Sponsor and each Applicant:
- We cannot use the VEVO website to make enquiries on your and your spouse’s/family’s behalf without written consent. We will only use the VEVO website for the purposes set out below.
The purposes of the VEVO enquiries and information to be obtained:
- Throughout our period of engagement with you, we may need to access the VEVO system using your and spouse’s / family’s passport/travel document details for reasons, such as, but not limited to:
- Checking your visa status to assess your continued eligibility for a particular visa you have instructed us to assist you with;
- Determining relevant visa grant numbers for preparing the requested visa applications;
- Providing VEVO check copies to relevant authorities as requested by them;
- Determining visa conditions, such as work/study permissions, and advising you accordingly and as instructed; and
- Obtaining information as listed in the section, ‘Visa Details and Conditions on Your VEVO Check’.
What you should do:
- Please see the following section, ‘Visa Details and Conditions on Your VEVO Check’, to understand what personal information a VEVO check will contain. On request, we will provide you with a copy of the individual VEVO checks for your records.
- Please note that if you and/or your spouse / family are not entitled to be in Australia, the Commonwealth may use the information described in the VEVO check and website technical data to locate you and/or your spouse / family. We are not responsible for any actions the Commonwealth may take in this regard.
- If you are not happy to proceed on this basis, please advise us directly to withdraw/withhold your consent in writing to us. You may withdraw your consent for us to perform VEVO checks on your behalf at any time by giving notice to us in writing, including from the email address we have on record for you.
