Me and my family ETA got rejected and need submit all docs in immiaccount.. already submitted as group and attaached all relevant docs.. but now 9 days passed.. still no approval.  My understanding is no need to pay the aud200 visa right??  This is still the ETA continuation and already paid aud20 per pax x 4  using AustraliaETA apps earlier.. correct right ?
Also r they very strict about certifying doc ?  I just used my colleague gomen servant u41 to certified doc.. can right ?

3 things you need to show

1 ) your itinerary - what are you going to do there ?
- if you plan to visit family n friends - then you need an invitation letter (with their address and immigration details - eg, PR number etc)
- on your own visit - then best to draw out a rough itinerary (make sure logical lar, dont say you plan to visit 3 days, but go sampai sana sini)

2 ) how are you going to support your stay ?
- Bank savings - 3 months - show sufficient funds to support your stay there 
- FD (if can) - in case of emergency - how are you going to pay for it ?
- If you are a student - then parents bank account + birth cert showing parents < forgot to add this

3 ) your intention to return
- if working - salary slip 3 months (plus bank account showing credited salary)
- a letter from employer confirming your job and your intention to return to work
if student - a letter from uni/school confirming you are a student there

if taukeh - no salary - then SSm certifications showing that you own the company - and if possible company bank account

*WARNING - always ask your friends what is their visa status and permission if you want to list them ...

DO NOT COMMIT to airtickets before your visa - its already stated in ETA 601 that you should never commit .. cause air tickets, hotels etc restriction on cancellation (in form 1554)
its very fluid, different people have have to show different documents proving their intention ... usually when i do - i will "interview" those people first and get to know them better before accepting ...

I would be travelling to AUS in July/August.
I will be travelling there together with my relatives.
I am trying to apply my visa via the mobile ETA application and now following the link received from the email (like other memeber had mentioned here) on their immigration website.
As I see there is this "Group Processing" option, can anyone advise if joining in as a group and have my application processed together could possibly increase the approval chance or it won't matter, and I should just proceed with the application individually？

[URGENT] Unable to verify passport info via AustralianETA app

Trying to use ETA App on iPhone13/Oppo/Huawei. It won't scan passport (gets stuck in green scanning mode, despite no glare on passport) and will not read passport with NFC functionality. Completely stuck. It's been a month now.

NOTE: The flight ticket, our stay and car rental already sorted out and next week we'll fly to Gold Coast. But with no visa granted yet, I doubt we can't make it on the dot.

To Whom It May Concern,

Trying to use ETA App on iPhone13/Oppo/Huawei. It won't scan passport (gets stuck in green scanning mode, despite no glare on passport) and will not read passport with NFC functionality. Completely stuck. It's been a month now.

Heard that the Australian embassy won,t attend any enquiries related to visa and citizenship matters. So, I'm totally lost now.

FYI, my brother had renewed passport (thinking that the existing passport might have an unknown issue that was blocking the passport to scan further) but still not successful.

Weird thing is, he just came back with the same passport from Munich few days before and had no issue to scan thru via autogate plus immigration's officer here in Malaysia didn't find any abnormalities on the passport itself.

Kindly attend the matter at your earliest convenience.

i travelled to Melbourne in 2019 and applying for the ETA was a breeze then. it's like it'll get approved automatically with minumum document needed. didn't know it's become so troublesome now.

i still dont think its troublesome. just have to compile as many docs as possible before applying for the visa. do enough research on visa beforehand.

no need pay again and just wait. took me 10 days to approve my application recently

i didn't certify any documents too

Yours got certify d? Where u planning to visit?

ok will wait patiently,,,

Update;  The myETA handphone app is a piece of crap..  should just abandoned it for Msian, if they so full of distrust of Msian.      Myself and all my family members. male and female, age 7 to 50 yrs old have been "rejected " .

But anyway.. Immiaccount took 10days to grant the approval for ETA.     I did submit lots of docs and mostly certified docs, by working colleague in gomen (above U41 rank).  No need go comissioner oath.   In immiaccount did submit as a group travel.  Need to create a family group using unique groupname.  One immiaccount login (1email address) can be used to submit multiple family members ETA and link as unique groupname.
And  remember filled up the the additional PDF attachment  Form1554  (group travelling)
It is valid for 1 year travel with multiple entry. ...  apply early Yeahh..
Goodluck..  guys and gals.

Be careful what you wish for. At least with the ETA(601) (btw your problem has nothing to do with the App), a quarter of applicants will get instant approval for just AUD20. The rest just need to take some time to submit some documents (no need "certification") and wait a few days (at least it's down from the 6 weeks in 2022).

If Australia removes Malaysia from the ETA programme, everybody will need to apply for the 600 visitor visa and pay AUD190 each. Plus mandatory to submit supporting documents. Plus medical examination for above 60 yos.

You prefer that?
