Questions

TFN application FAQs

Short answers to what people ask us most.

See all FAQs
Is it free to apply for a TFN?

Yes. Applying directly with the ATO is free — you can do it yourself at ato.gov.au. Our service is optional and paid (99–199 AUD) for people who want help preparing and checking their application.

How long does it take to receive a TFN?

For visa holders applying online, the ATO says to allow up to 28 days from when it receives a complete application. The TFN is posted to your Australian address. Nobody, including us, can speed this up.

Can I apply before I arrive in Australia?

Visa holders with work rights apply online once they are in Australia. If you are outside Australia, different rules apply — we tell you which option fits your visa.

Who can use your service?

International students, working holiday makers, skilled and family visa holders, new permanent residents and anyone starting a business who needs an ABN.
