Visa Check API – for Developers
The vSure transactional visa check API (aka vSure VEVO API) is for software developers who wish to offer work rights (visa), KYC (Know Your Customer) and/or study visa (aka student visa) checking to an existing application.
vSure v2 visa checks API & developer portal
vSure offers a RESTful Visa Check API and dedicated Developer Portal. We offer Australia and New Zealand’s leading visa check API service, from a single end point. In fact, we have 5 different types of visa checks:
- Australian Work Rights (VEVO) check – can be used for work rights verification or validation on non-Australian passports (for use cases such as KYC) – will return details of active visa BUT limits visa conditions to specific work related visa conditions;
- Australian Study Visa check – can be used by CRICOS providers to check study visas during enrolment and throughout the student lifecycle – will return details of active visa BUT limits visa conditions to specific study related visa conditions;
- Australian MARA Agent visa check – specifically for registered MARA agents and Legal professionals – will return ALL visa conditions;
- New Zealand Visa Verification – aligned to the NZ Visa Verification service, can be used for work rights verification or validation on non-NZ passports (for use cases such as KYC) – input includes passport and visa approval letter data – returns details of active visa;
- New Zealand Employer VisaView – aligned to the NZ Employer VisaView service – input only requires passport data and only returns visa information relevant to the enquiring employer;
How does the Visa Check API Work?
Once you have a vSure v2 Visa Check API account, you will be able to make calls to the API to get visa information returned.
You will need to provide passport details for the customer/student/worker/candidate, and the API will return visa information in JSON and PDF (if desired) formats.

Pricing
Pricing is determined by the number of unique visa holders successfully checked in a calendar month. This means we do NOT charge for failed checks nor multiple successful checks against the same individual in the same calendar month.
Pricing is a maximum $2/unique successful check (with a minimum monthly volume/charge of $30 applicable). Transactional costs reduce with use of offpeak (9pm to 6am AEST), volume (volume-based discounts on transactions) and further with committed volumes (e.g. you agree to a minimum 1,000 checks per month for example).
