Section 45B — Migration Act 1958: Amount of visa application charge

(1) The amount of visa application charge is the amount, not exceeding the visa application charge limit, prescribed in relation to the application. Note: The visa application charge limit is determined under the Migration (Visa Application) Charge Act 1997. (2) The amount prescribed in relation to an application may be nil. (3) The Minister must publish the Contributory Parent Visa Composite Index (within the meaning of the Migration (Visa Application) Charge Act 1997) for a financial year in the Gazette before the start of the financial year. Note: The Contributory Parent Visa Composite Index affects the visa application charge limit in relation to contributory parent visas (within the meaning of the Migration (Visa Application) Charge Act 1997). (4) If the Contributory Parent Visa Composite Index for a financial year is not published as required by subsection (3), it is not to be taken, merely because of that fact, to be invalid or to be a figure other than that published by the Australian Government Actuary for the financial year.
