Residence Verification: It is not enough to list an address within the consulate’s jurisdiction — you must provide proof of legal residence (e.g., valid Australian visa, driver’s license, or VEVO check). Bridging visas are not considered valid residency for application purposes.
It is critical to adhere to all consulate-specific requirements to avoid application delays or refusals.
