What address should I use for my TFN application when travelling?

Question

RenATO · Accepted Answer

Once you enter into Australia and apply for the TFN (https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/tax-file-number/apply-for-a-tfn/foreign-passport-holders,-permanent-migrants-and-temporary-visitors---tfn-application/), you'll include the address you're living in at the time on application form. It can take up to 28days to process your application, if you move within that time you can request for a 'mail redirect (https://auspost.com.au/receiving/manage-your-mail/redirect-hold-mail/redirect-mail)' with Australia Post. This means the post office will redirect any mail going to your old address (the address on the application), to your new address.
