Through CheckWorkRights, the frequency of visa checks depends on the visa subclass, visa expiry date, and the result of the most recent check for each individual. Here is a breakdown of what we consider in each of these situations. - **Visa Subclass**: The visa subclass and whether the visa is temporary or permanent determines how often visas are checked. This can range from monthly to yearly. For example, temporary visas such as student visas are checked monthly, permanent residency visas are checked every 6 months, and New Zealand citizens on a subclass 444 visa are checked yearly. - **Expiry Date**: In addition to the ongoing checking, each individual’s visa is checked again on the day after it expires. The result of the check will appear on the “visa change report” if the employee has a new valid visa. Or, the result will appear on the “no valid visa report” with an alert that the employee needs to be contacted because their visa has expired. - **Current Status of Employee**: If the check returns an “Unable to Check” or “No Valid Visa” result, the employee’s visa status will be checked every 48 hours until their visa can be verified. This schedule has been created based on best practices in the immigration industry and advice from migration professionals. It is designed to ensure that you get accurate and timely advice about your employees’ visa statuses and can quickly take the appropriate course of action when required. - [Getting started](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/getting-started?hsLang=en-au) - [Administration](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/administration?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Security](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/administration?hsLang=en-au#security) - [Adding Employees](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/adding-employees?hsLang=en-au) - [Work Entitlement Australia](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/work-entitlement-australia?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Visa Holder Lifecycle Management](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/work-entitlement-australia?hsLang=en-au#visa-holder-lifecycle-management) - [Check Specific Support](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/check-specific-support?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA)](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/check-specific-support?hsLang=en-au#responsible-service-of-alcohol-rsa) - [CheckBuilder](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/check-specific-support?hsLang=en-au#checkbuilder) - [Verifying & Reviewing Documents](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/verifying-reviewing-documents?hsLang=en-au) - [Managing Employees](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/managing-employees?hsLang=en-au) - [Reporting](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/reporting?hsLang=en-au) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/troubleshooting?hsLang=en-au) - [Integrations](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/integrations?hsLang=en-au#main-content) - [SmartRecruiters](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/integrations?hsLang=en-au#smartrecruiters) - [Labour Hire - Contractor Management](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/labour-hire-contractor-management?hsLang=en-au) [![CheckWorkRights](https://support.checkworkrights.com.au/hubfs/tm-logo%20(1).svg "CheckWorkRights")](https://checkworkrights.com.au/) [mailto:hello@checkworkrights.com.au](mailto:hello@checkworkrights.com.au) Copyright © 2026, CheckWorkRights
