Australia Form 1440 PDF Details

Australia Form 1440 is a payment form issued by the Department of Home Affairs for use in specific visa application situations. It is primarily required when an applicant cannot make a Visa Application Charge payment through the standard online portal, particularly when applying for an Australian visa from an overseas location. The form is also used to process top-up payments when the original payment did not cover the full amount owed.

Who Needs Australia Form 1440

This document is used in a range of visa application situations:

• Individuals applying for an Australian visa from an overseas location where standard online payment is not available for their visa type
• Applicants who need to make a top-up payment after their initial visa application has been lodged and accepted
• Group or family applications where multiple people are included under a single submission, requiring individual charge calculations for each applicant
• Applicants required to pay the Subsequent Temporary Application Charge (STAC) when applying for a second temporary visa
• Applicants whose initial submission was incomplete in terms of total fees paid and who need to make a supplementary payment before a decision is reached

The form is suitable for both temporary and permanent visa applications, depending on the specific circumstances of each case. It is not required if the full application fee was paid through the online portal at the time of lodgment.

Payment Calculations on the Form

The payment section of Form 1440 is structured to help applicants calculate their total Visa Application Charge accurately. The form includes space to record the base application fee, additional applicant charges for those aged 18 and over, and separate charges for applicants under 18 years of age. These amounts must be taken directly from the current fee tables published by the Department of Home Affairs, as fees are updated from time to time.

The STAC amount, where applicable, is also recorded separately. Errors in calculation can result in delays or rejection of the visa application. Applicants are encouraged to verify all amounts with the Department before completing and submitting the form. Payments must be made in Australian dollars.

What is the Subsequent Temporary Application Charge?
The Subsequent Temporary Application Charge (STAC) is an additional fee for applicants who previously held a temporary visa in Australia and are applying for another temporary visa.

The form includes guidance on which options apply based on your location at the time of application.

Can I submit the form without details for all applicants?
No. The form requires complete personal information for every person included in the application. Missing details for any applicant can result in the payment being rejected or the visa application being delayed. Take care to fill in all required fields before submission.

For other Australian immigration documents, the Australia Visa Application Form and the Australia Immigration Form 80 are commonly required at different stages of the visa process.
