Your saved application form may be out of date
Preparing a move often means collecting paperwork over several months. If you saved an immigration form earlier in the process, check it before submitting: the Migration Department accepts only its revised forms from 2 April 2026.
The department announced the revision on 11 March 2026. A form downloaded before then may no longer be the version you need, even if the rest of your paperwork is ready.
A quick check that can save extra paperwork
Find the current application materials for your category on the Migration Department’s website. Read the supporting-document instructions too, rather than checking only the form.
- Download a fresh copy of the correct form from the official source.
- Check the supporting-document instructions for that application.
- If an adviser is filing for you, confirm they are using the revised version.
New forms are not a new residency route
This announcement concerns application documents. It does not, by itself, establish a change to eligibility for every immigration category. Your nationality, purpose of stay and chosen application route still determine which requirements you need to meet.
The short version
Download the current form for your application rather than reusing an old copy. From 2 April 2026, the Migration Department accepts only the revised versions.
