VEVO - Visa Entitlement Verification Online

As an employer, you could face penalties if you employ a person who does not have a valid right to work in Australia. You can be fined up to $102,000 and, for more “aggravated” breaches such as forced or exploitative labour, the fine can be up to $255,000).

Visa Entitlement Verification Online system (VEVO) allows visa holders, employers, education providers and other organisations to verify and check the conditions of a Visa.

VEVO tells you details relating to the current in-effect visa:
  • which visa
  • the expiry date
  • the must not arrive after date
  • the period of stay (how long you can stay) 
  • conditions (what you can and can't do).
Exceptions: VEVO is not able to provide any details relating to visas that are not ‘in-effect’. For example, if you hold a Bridging visa but your substantive visa has not yet expired.​ People who migrated to Australia before 1990 and have not travelled out of Australia might not have a record in VEVO. 

To verify and check a Visa, employers need to register first which they can at:

There are numerous tabs accessible on the website which will provide you with all the details you need know regards Visa's.
