An ImmiCard is issued to certain visa holders who don’t have and can’t obtain a passport recognised by the Australian Government.
An ImmiCard assists visa holders to provide evidence of their Commencement of Identity (COI) in Australia.
Agencies such as Medicare and Centrelink must verify a visa holder's COI before enrolling them in government services.
Any Myanmarese visa applicant requiring an identity document to access Government services while residing in Australia, in lieu of a valid passport, may be eligible for an ImmiCard.
