Your files are never transmitted. Nothing is uploaded.
Before you upload to ImmiAccount
- The file count includes everything you attach later, so merge related pages (all bank statements, all payslips) into one PDF.
- Compress after merging: one well-sized file beats five that each sit near the limit.
- Keep the original scans. If the department asks for a clearer copy, you still have it.
Still over 5 MB?
Compression shrinks images. A long file that is mostly text can stay above the limit; these get it through.
