Cap and cease details have been announced on the Department of Immigration website, affecting undecided skilled visa applications under subclasses 175, 176, and 475.

The webpage advises how to request a repayment from the DIBP in respect of Visa Application Charges paid to the Department when the visa application was submitted.

Regrettably this offer to repay doesn’t include the other costs incurred by visa applicants: migration skills assessments, IELTS tests, or State Sponsorship applications – or migration agent fees.
