- Pick ‘I am not a robot’ option.
- Submit the application, wait for the ‘Login successful’ page, and click ‘Continue’.

Sometimes, you may come across difficulties during the process of creating an ImmiAccount. Remember to enter the details and check them carefully twice. In case of issues during attaching documents, make sure they suit the size limits, are in the proper file type, and are not encrypted. Some technical errors happen when maintenance is done in the system. In this situation, you must wait until it ends.
ImmiAccount Login
