What is a VEVO Check?

Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) check is an online tool provided by Australia's Department of Home Affairs, which allows migrants in Australia to confirm visa details such as visa expiry dates and visa conditions.

What information do you need to do a VEVO check?

  1. Passport Details: You’ll need your passport number, along with the country where the passport was issued.
  2. Visa Grant Information: You’ll need one of the following reference numbers related to the visa:
    1. Visa Grant Number
    2. Transaction Reference Number (TRN)
  3. Date of Birth: Your date of birth is also required to complete the verification.

Steps to do a VEVO check

Step 1: 

If you Google "VEVO check", the first link from the Department of Home Affairs will be the correct one. Click on that link, and you’ll be taken to a page that looks like this:

  • Transaction Reference Number (TRN)
  • Visa Evidence Number
  • Visa Grant Number
  • Password

Select the reference type that applies to you and depending on the reference type you select you will have to enter the details in the section right below it .

After that, enter your Date of Birth, followed by your Document Number—this will be your passport number as you selected Passport as your document type. Then, use the drop down menu to select the country where your passport was issued.

Finally, tick the checkbox to confirm you agree to the terms and conditions, and click Submit to complete your VEVO check.

Step 4:

You will be directed to a window with your visa details. 

Troubleshooting

If you get an error message you can try the following

  • Remove any extra spaces in your document number or other fields.
  • Tick the box agreeing to the terms and conditions, this is often missed.
  • Double-check all details, especially your date of birth, reference number, and passport number.
  • Don’t leave any required fields blank, the form won’t submit.
  • Use the correct reference type, based on what you have.

If you still see an error, try refreshing the page or clearing your cache can also help.

I’m incredibly grateful to team of MJ Legal for their outstanding support in securing our Employer Sponsored (SC 482) visa. We were under a very limited timeframe, and at one point, we genuinely thought it would be impossible to get everything done in time. But thanks to the dedication and expertise of Mr. Jayantha, Keith, and Thamasha, our visa was granted successfully — well before the deadline! The team was highly professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. They guided us clearly through each step, ensuring everything was completed accurately and efficiently. Their attention to detail and commitment made a stressful situation so much more manageable. I highly recommend MJ Legal to anyone needing trustworthy and experienced immigration assistance. Thank you once again for your excellent service — we truly appreciate your help and look forward to working with you again in the future
