Since the department had increased the visa application fee in 1 July 2013 and also another round in 1 September 2013, I personally think that it just way too expensive. Incredible expensive. The visa application fee had been increased in 1 July and I don't understand why there need to be another increase in September, just 2 months apart.
Some of the visa fee has jumped 10 times. For example, Child migrant subclass 455 had jumped from $220 to $2,570. That is about 10 times higher.
Visa application fee for ENS is also now $3,520. Slightly jumps from around $2,950 but the major fee increase if the visa applicant has spouse or partner. The secondary visa application fee is $1,760. Together as a couple, that will become $5,280. This is just big money making machine for Australian government. Everytime when I lodge the application for my clients, I can feel a little pinch in their wallet & bank account. I just hope and pray that fee increase won't happen again next 1 July 2014!!!
Please don't!!
