When it comes to visa and citizenship inquiries, save yourself a call to the Australian High Commission. Yugo.pk encourages you to avoid reaching out to the Australian High Commission for information regarding visas, citizenship, or visa application updates. Please note that the staff at the Australian High Commission cannot provide advice on the Australian visa application process.
If you happen to miss a call from the Australian High Commission, refrain from attempting to call back. Rest assured, they will reach out to you to reschedule the call. For inquiries about your visa application, direct your concerns to the Department of Home Affairs by visiting their contact us page.
For complex issues or if you can’t find the information you need on the Department of Home Affairs’ website, contact the Global Service Centre (GSC) at +61 2 6196 0196, open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm AEST. Ensure you have your documents ready for identity verification.
