Update my passport and visa details in Workday

The below instructions provide a guide on how to update your passport details in Workday. This process should be followed if you are a visa holder. 

Important Notice: If you have been issued a Bridging Visa, please follow the procedure outlined below to enter the relevant information. Ensure that the Bridging Visa grant notice is uploaded in the supporting documentation section.

Please note as an employer, the Department of Home Affairs requires us to check your bridging visa status every three (3) months as there is no end date on the visa.

It is therefore essential to provide a VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online) check every three months and update the expiry date to reflect three months from the expiry of your current visa or three months from the date of your VEVO check (whichever applicable). This should be attached using the process described below.
