good luck bro....
ETA application gotten stricter eh? i never submit any documents.. just pay money and get it within the hour....

and friendly reminder, just to remove any potential issues.. NO food in your check in or carry on luggage.. even food from the plane or airport..
if the dog gets to u, at best u gonna waste some time while they check ur bags..
Melbourne is full of (almost) authentic Malaysian food.. especially the CBD.. u aint gonna miss anything..

I applied thru ETA on May23, i actually booked my flight ticket only proceed with ETA, given the limited seats and price. Being kiasu i submit all document needed (EPF, FD, shares investment, Saving acct, salary slip n etc), got reply within a week and visa granted.

Pointer, do submit more document and supporting to avoid the rejection and the concern of not being granted. Better safe than sorry.

Applied within 24 hours got approved. Going Perth though.. Maybe they need the tourists... Lol!

Perhaps it’s because you had all your documents tick the right boxes

Guys i got my Visa the next day morning after i resubmitted, the period of approving based of what u attached i can tell.

I did book my flight tickets (Scoot) and Accommodation (BNB) as well.

-Flight Tickets RM2.8k
-Accommodation (BNB) Avani Melbourne Central Residences 3.2k for 7 days

such a relieve and cant wait to travel

So far, i don't see any rejection recently reported here.
May be they are easing up.

Applying for the sub class 601
Am trying to fill in the form and submit the documents at the end.

i am having problem attaching the documents. It will only accept ONE document per section! Yet it says 60 documents max.
Anyone have this problem?

And therefore, i cannot even attach the form 1554! Why is this happening?

u can attached as much attachment as you want per section. Its has no restriction unless your file/PDF is too large.

Too large? Thought PDF is normally quite small ?
i can only attach 1 file in each section! How? i cannot even attach the Form 1554 in the same section as my passport scan.
