Do I always need translated documents for a visitor visa?

Only if your supporting documents are not in English. Applicants from Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and other Spanish-speaking countries will typically need certified translations of financial and employment evidence.

What bank statements are usually required?

Recent 3 to 6 months of statements showing consistent balances and regular salary deposits are the strongest evidence. More is generally better.

Do invitation letters need to be translated?

Only if the invitation is written in Spanish. Invitation letters written in English by an Australian-based sponsor do not need translation.

Yes. Most visitor visa document bundles are returned same business day at $59 per page.

Why NAATI certification?

The Department of Home Affairs, Australian courts and skills assessing bodies only accept translations prepared by a NAATI-certified translator. NAATI (the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is Australia's official standards body. A certified translation carries the translator's NAATI stamp, ID number and certification statement, confirming to the case officer that the English document is a faithful representation of the original.

Trans Lingo prepares every Subclass 600 translation to this standard, priced at $59 per page with same-business-day delivery.
