Can I transfer the visa from the old passport to the new passport?

It is important to make sure your Australian visa is up to date when you obtain a new passport. "If I receive a new passport, how can I transfer my Australian visa to the new passport?" is a frequently asked question by migrants and tourists. Here is all the information you require for the transfer of an Australian visa.

It is crucial to make sure your visa is linked to your new passport in order to prevent any problems at the border or with Australian officials. This process is frequently called "visa label transfer". Even though Australia has a label-free visa system—that is, visas are electronically recorded and associated with your passport number—it is still necessary to keep your passport information up to date with the Department of Home Affairs. However, physically transferring the visa label is not necessary.

Applying for an Australia ETA is highly recommended for travelers, as it provides a convenient and efficient way to obtain authorization to travel to Australia. With an ETA, there's no need to worry about physical visa labels or transferring visas between passports. Instead, the visa information is securely stored electronically, streamlining the immigration process upon arrival in Australia.

Because your Australia e-visa is electronically linked to your passport, therefore, your passport information must be up-to-date. It will be necessary to add your visa to your new passport if you change your passport. You risk having your entry into Australia refused if you forget to update your passport.
