Go and look at the number of Malaysian's applying for 'asylum' in Australia and clogging up the system.


It is clearly a syndicate doing this. 99% of these people have no ability to even understand what they're doing/in front of a Tribunal, but Rule of Law due process still needs to be followed.

Some of the poeple don't even turn up to their immigration hearing. Once their asylum claim is rejected they file a appeal, knowing it can take _years_ to be heard. So with this additional time bought, they work, earn AUD, save up money, and then leave Australia back to Malaysia based on immigration records.

Honestly, spend a few hours reading AATA judgements involving refuee claims from Malaysia passport holders, and you'd understand why.

Very strange if you are travelling as a family. I mean you are a real tourist, with kids going for a holiday.

I think there was a system maintenance last few days even though i submitted the application last friday and still waiting for approval.

Im not sure if they will judge based on your travel history to Australia as i was once a student in Melbourne with multiple trips to Australia after that but still asked to provide supporting documents.

I only submitted bank statement wand national identity back in 2022 and got approved but this time I submitted more financial documents just to be sure

Edit- btw anyone getting this prompt after submitting the evidence documents?
Give details as to why the applicant will not be providing attachments prior to lodging this application.

The only document i didn't provide is the family composition form which should not applicable for Malaysia right

Not "rejected outright", but requested to submit supporting documents in 3 out of 4 applications...

Sorry buddy.. may be the wrong choice of words but just bout there bah.. all my colleagues who applied also kena 2 weeks ago.

Yes, they did but they went and apply 600 from immi site without using the link from the PDF.. so they paid additional 190aud 😅
Anyway, they got it approved with company invitation letter.

A common mistake, and DoHA makes a lot of extra money from that confusion.

>australia is 6th largest country
>”one week can finish”

lmao

lol so irrelevant

people here seeking opinion on how to apply visa and here he is saying australia is boring. who asked?

just came back from sydney and took a day trip to blue mountains. loved leura and its surrounding. would love to visit tasmania

[URGENT] Unable to verify passport info via AustralianETA app

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.

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.

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.

I recently got approved visa 858  and it requires to spend 730 days there. If I don’t spend enough 730 days how will it affect the RRV totally can’t renew?. I see that getting a job there not as easy and salary cant compare to what I’m getting now hence not sure if I wanted to pursue further

Australia can fuck off la medical examination next level discrimination. How few old people can even pass the medical test

Even I (young single unemployed) apply for American visa didn’t have much questions, and I didn’t have to show or certify ANY bank or government documents. plus they give 10 years multiple entry one shot.

If Australia wants to remove our fake eta, then by all means do it . I really wish Malaysian government will be more proactive with the reciprocal visa issues, at least more kiasu Australian citizens will have trouble coming here

Just do it

I applied last April bro, for travel in September of last year too.

Was a breeze, zero questions during interview, because most asked in online form already

I also heard horror stories, but was pleasantly surprised

Even at JFK they didn’t ask any intrusive questions

I was holding a UK student visa at the time, so I don’t know if the 5 eyes power sharing agreement helped me with the application and they just got all of my information from the uk 💀

That's the thing. I don't want to apply visa too early coz if it does get approved fast, then I would burn a few months worth of my visa

But if wait until Sept, then flight ticket will be very expensive by then 

Burn few months of visa or burn flight+hotel?
U decide

LOL, i did that.
Went in October then again in March and then again in May. All for Cuti Cuti Australia purpose
