Police checks for online lodged General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa applications
Posted on 30 Apr 2009 by Alex Graham
If you are lodging an online onshore GSM visa, you do not need to provide the transaction ID for your Australian Federal Police (AFP) check with your GSM visa application.
The AFP has advised that the transaction ID can only be provided when the check is completed. It is not necessary to contact the AFP to obtain the transaction ID in order for you to lodge your GSM visa application.
Note: You must have already submitted the request for an AFP check before you lodge your GSM visa application.
When you have received your police check, it should be forwarded to the Department on Immigration & Citizenship.
