Built for the
real complexity of Form 80.

Form 80 isn't a simple questionnaire. It requires dates, address histories, family trees, and employment timelines. FormMate 80 handles all of it.

Smart date pickers — no manual typing

Every date field uses a three-part dropdown (Day / Month / Year). No typing "16 Feb 1994" — just select and go. Month-Year pickers handle address ranges, employment periods, and travel dates. The app automatically formats dates to exactly what Form 80 requires.

Structured table inputs

Address history, travel history, employment, education, military service — all entered as clean row-by-row tables with individual fields. No more cramming everything into a single text box.

Family section wizard

Partner, children (up to 6), parents (up to 4), and siblings (up to 5) — each gets a structured card with correct PDF field mapping. Place of birth, citizenship, country of residence all mapped precisely.

Exact PDF field mapping

Your answers go into the correct fields of the official DIBP Form 80 PDF. 734 fields mapped, radio buttons correctly set, and all slash characters handled to prevent field corruption.

Auto-save with accounts

Create an account and your progress is saved automatically. Return later and pick up exactly where you left off. Manage multiple Form 80s from a single dashboard.

Private, secure, and yours to delete

Your answers are stored on encrypted servers behind HTTPS. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed — never stored in plain text. We don't sell or share your data with anyone. Sign in with Google or email. You can export your data or permanently delete your account at any time from the dashboard.

What makes Form 80 difficult to complete?

Form 80 is 19 pages long and covers your entire personal history — addresses for the past 10 years, every job you've held since leaving school, full education history, military service, travel history, family member details, and a 42-question character section.

Most applicants spend 3–6 hours gathering the required information and another 1–2 hours filling in the form itself. Errors or omissions can delay your visa processing. FormMate 80 reduces this to a guided 30–60 minute session.

Is the Form 80 required for every visa application?

No. The Department of Home Affairs requests Form 80 at its discretion based on the visa type and the applicant's circumstances. In many cases, your migration agent or the visa processing officer will ask you to submit it as part of your application.

Always confirm with your migration agent or your ImmiAccount case officer whether Form 80 is required for your specific visa subclass.
