The Government will remove the Taiwan visa facilitation fee which has funded the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s operations at the Australian Commerce and Industry Office in Taiwan. The removal of the fee will result in a reduction in revenue of $13.2 million over four years.
The removal of the visa facilitation fee follows a review under the Government’s cost recovery policy, and brings operations in Taiwan into line with operations at Australia’s other overseas posts.
