Your passport fills in the form

Upload a photo of your passport and your name, nationality, and document details populate instantly. One click confirms your current visa status and which subclass you qualify for.

Which visa you need, and why

Select your purpose of stay and an advice panel built by immigration lawyers tells you which subclass fits your situation. Change your answer and the recommendation, and the price, updates to match.

Know your evidence is strong before you finish

Upload a document and real-time checks show whether it meets what the Department actually looks for: name match, income regularity, fund levels. Anything flagged comes with a specific explanation of what was found and what to fix.

Why choose Tern?

Never wonder if your evidence is enough

We write a personalised GTE statement for your application covering your circumstances, ties to home, and genuine intent. As you upload evidence, you get real-time feedback on what's missing or needs strengthening. If refused, your service fee is refunded.

Know when your visa will arrive

Our prediction model, built from millions of real visa decisions, estimates your approval date. If it arrives later than predicted, we refund our service fee.

Your application done in under 10 minutes

Skip the confusing government forms. Answer simple questions and your application is handled from there.

You'll be matched to the right one

There are multiple visitor visa options, each designed for different circumstances. No need to choose. Immigration lawyers assess your situation and recommend the best fit during your application.

Based on 24 reviews
The best part was thatThe best part was that, in the process of filling in the form, I got stuck with a question that required an upload which I made several attempts and then an email came in explaining that you are working on sorting it out for me. That felt like miracle for me as I was in-between meeting on that day and had to stay up late on campus. That was so satisfying
