ImmiAccount — Apply for an Australian visa online
Step-by-step walkthrough of creating an ImmiAccount, lodging a visa application, attaching documents, paying, and tracking the outcome via the DHA online portal.
Procedural walkthrough only. Drafted from publicly available DHA documentation as of 7 May 2026. The portal UI may have changed since then — verify each step against the live portal.
For advice on whether to lodge, what to claim, or how to optimise your application, consult a MARA-registered migration agent. Self Migrate provides information, not advice.
