Visa Checks for Companies

Home » Services » Visa Checks for Companies

While an NCC police check covers an employee's criminal history, a Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) check protects you against employing people who are not legally entitled to work in Australia.

A VEVO check validates the working entitlements of non-Australian citizens, foreign nationals or people with limited working Visas.

What fines could I face by employing illegal workers?

Penalties are enforced by the Australian Department of Home Affairs and include up to $63,000 and/or five years’ imprisonment per illegal worker and up to $315,000 for bodies corporates.

How do I ensure my employees meet all legal requirements?

A VEVO report includes the Visa provisions for all non-Australian citizens, along with any restrictions. A VEVO report includes:

• Which Visa is held and its expiry date.
• The person's "must not arrive after" date.
• The person's period of stay and conditions.

Note: While a VEVO check validates VISA compliance, every citizen and non-citizen should undertake a "right to work" check. Please contact us to learn more.
