yeah no choice so im collecting the documents and redoing before the end of this week zzzz

And 4.5 of the revolver’s chambers are loaded with live ammo.

Hi,

I recently got invited to a company event to Australia by end of August. (Company will cover all our expenses in Australia, my wife was invited too)

My wife and I applied for the ETA via mobile app and have received email stating our ETA could not be finalized at the moment and we were requested to submit additional documents via Immi account.

I have no problem submitting documents and financial proof but my wife is not working for many years already, so what kind of document can I prepare for her that shows I will be her sponsor?

Both of us are Malaysian citizen and is holding Singapore PR for years if that matters..

Thanks everyone.

Singapore PR status sadly doesn't confer any additional benefit upon the applicant. It's the primary passport that matters. I guess the important thing is to show that you and your wife are legally married, so she won't be at risk of jumping aeroplane ... a marriage certificate might be helpful, if you're good with your financial proofs.

Good luck bro

"Working" isn't really the info they want.

1) enough money for trip: her bank account statement, your company sponsorship letter etc.

2) reason to return to "home" country (presumably Singapore?): house ownership, children in schools, etc.

You get the drift.

If you are the officer looking for answers to these two questions, what will you look for?

Quick question on ETA, after I submit my application through the app, I got an email asking me to submit further information through the ImmiAccount, but I couldn't retrieve my application using the "Import Application" link, it says my reference number could not be found.
Did anyone encounter the same issue? Should I just start a new application throught the ImmiAccount website?

After registering the immiaccount, go back to the email, click again the link, login and you will land at the 601 document submission site.

You cannot retrieve your 601 application at immiaccount because it has no access to the 601 visa.

I know, I know. Don't ask me why.

"You must use the link contained in the attachment sent to you by email to complete the ETA form online in ImmiAccount and attach all requested documents"

See https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=109239786 and the posts after that

As I said, UX and UI for the ETA application for Malaysian's pulled for additional processing is very very bad.

Makes money for the Australian government when Malaysian's pay AUD190 for the 600 on top of the AUD20 they paid to lodge the 601.

Thank you! I've managed to complete my application thru the link in the pdf.

Our application just got approved, surprisingly it only took a day, i submitted on 25th july late evening and got the approval on 26th july afternoon.

I only paid aud20 , requested for additional documents, in which i submitted thru the eta link in immi account, but the processing fee is 0 and they didnt request for the aud190.

Congratulations bro!

They will if you use the immiaccount to apply again for the 600 visa as quite a lot of people do.

Rough, aud190, i almost did that mistake missing out the eta page until I suspected the part where they didnt ask for my eta transaction number and redo everything again.

I guess country like india, vietnam and etc that needs an actual visa will be have to go to that page and pay aud190, not malaysians.

Just to share, initially when I tried clicking on the link in the ETA pdf, it doesn't work, it turns out my antivirus had remove the script when the file was downloaded to my PC, I had to restore the script from my antivirus for the link to work

From the anecdotes shared by many here, it seems that Australia immigration may have relaxed the ETA applications by Malaysians. Happy days.

Friends,

I was checking my ETA details last night and was wondering if the first name and last name is normal and I am worried that we may be denied entering Australia due to this issue.


When I checked the ETA app, my full name is under the "Family name" column, I remembered this was not editable because it was entered automatically when we scanned our passport via our phone using the ETA mobile app.




However, when I checked my ETA grant letter, I noticed that there is no "Family name" and "First name" categorization, details as below,

Its 'normal', because the Malaysian passport has no delimiter for Last Names and First Names.

So the whole name becomes the Last Name.

But believe it or not, Australian immigration and their Smartgates can handle this.

The frontline airline staff at the airport is a separate question altogether.......

(To be fair, on the Malaysian (and Singaporean) side, they understand)

Msia passport whole name is surname.

Because majority of people has no surname.

therefore whole name becomes surname.

hope that makes sense....
