How? i cannot even attach the Form 1554 in the same section as my passport scan. im not sure but im on the last section 2nd attachment section i attached 7 files .

Maybe the scanned files are too large. It worked last year! And even after i reduce the resolution! This post has been edited by prophetjul: Sep 13 2023, 03:48 PM

My wife and I are in the midst of our RRV reapplications, and I've just uploaded some 40 supporting documents to demonstrate tax/money/family/cultural/work ties to Australia - all of them were uploaded and stored safely. HOWEVER, you do have to check before submission: if there's a period of inactivity, the documents get deleted (but not your application), and you'll have to reattach them. Good luck.

After filling in, i find out that they have AGAIN directed me to apply for visa 600 which requires a payment of $190. Same as last year!

You should apply in APP first ETA Australia , after that they will charge u RM60 = 20AUD. then u will received an email directed to a platform . then only u filled in ur details there, the payment will be charged if the application is successful. They will refund u once its rejected.

The email they sent showed that i applied or SC 601 and yet the link they sent me is for SC600 which is 12 month stay and requires payment of $190.

They will refund u once its rejected. When you file your details, do you start with new application? And in your new appliaction, do you see a SC 601 under the visitor tab? Mine does not have 601. It only has 600, 602 and 651 This post has been edited by prophetjul: Sep 14 2023, 11:49 AM

On the subject, I have to say that the visa processing times have caught up post covid and improved tremendously. Last year, when we did our application, it took us 3 months to get our RRVs approved. Yesterday, I received our latest RRV approvals barely a week after I submitted them:  Excellent stuff. More 911 time on the roads for me!

Mine does not have 601. It only has 600, 602 and 651 You should access the Immiaccount via the link in the email asking for documents, then it should lead to the page for submitting documents for 601 visa. You CANNOT see any application for 601 visa if you don't use the email link. So people just log in, and can see only 600, and applied for 600 and paid....
