SD_MOA Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hello All,DIBP have just updated their website relating to the DIBP VAC (Visa Application Charge) payable on visa application lodgement:From 19 April 2014, a credit card surcharge will apply to transactions made using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB and Diners credit cards. The following rates will apply:Visa and Mastercard - 1.08%American Express and JCB - 1.99%Diners Club International - 2.91%Depending on the number of people on your application this could be a significant cost. If anybody is close to submitting I would recommend they aim to do this before 19th April.Regards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronwyn&Co Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) See, it's understandable that they need to pass on the bank charges (because it's costing them a fortune, shame! ?) but then why not allow people to do a bank transfer, appropriately referenced, via SWIFT?
