What happens if I have not paid the correct amount
Your visa application is not valid until we receive the total first instalment of the visa application charge. If less than the total amount is paid, we cannot commence the processing of your visa application until the correct amount is received. If there is a gap in time before you pay the correct amount, this might impact on your eligibility for the visa. The price might also rise in the interim and you will need to pay the new amount.
We might contact you regarding outstanding amounts that need to be paid or we might return your application to you and you will need to lodge your application again with the correct amount.
If you pay by credit card, you must have enough funds to pay the total amount of your visa application charge at the time that we process the payment for the transaction to be successful. This might be some time after we receive your application.
