ProbityPeople makes it easier than ever to check the status of your current Visa and work restrictions. This check is right for you if you are a non-citizen or non-permanent resident and currently hold or have held a visa in Australia. The data we receive is obtained directly from the Department of Home Affairs Visa Entitlement Verification system (VEVO) which means you can feel confident knowing the information you receive is accurate and up to date.
