The Australian government has made the visa process easier for eligible applicants in Pakistan by allowing them to submit key identity information through the Australian Immi App.
Australian High Commissioner to Pakistan Tim Kane announced the update, saying that applicants can now provide their passport details and facial biometrics directly from their smartphones.

According to the official guidance, applicants can use the app only if they have a “requirement to provide personal identifiers (biometrics)” letter that contains a Visa Lodgement Number (VLN) beginning with AUI or AUH, along with a valid passport.
Applicants whose VLN does not start with these prefixes must still visit an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre to submit their personal identifiers.
The app requires a stable internet connection and a smartphone with NFC enabled. Users must also allow the app to access the device camera and location services.
