Your company is also one kind one ... sigh. If ETA is not successful, you could always apply for a visitor visa (AUD190) which my maid received approval after 48H. Good luck bro!

What’s the difference between ETA and a visitor visa?

Hi all….
I wish i had found this forum earlier before i submitted my application.

On Aug 5th the i submitted my mom’s and my application in ETA. My mom’s visa was quick, like immediate. Mine i received an email asking me to provide more docs and also sibmit the form 1554. Did all that in the immi acc and submitted on Aug 6th at 7pm. I attached all the docs including my mom’s approved visa and also provided the info where i will visit and also will be visiting my bro as well. He lives in melb and is a PR. However, i forgot to put the duration i plan to stay there and i did not attach itinerary. That section i put my employment letter and i have worked cor his MNC for 20 years now. The status hasnt changed from received. My question is should i go back in and input the itinerary? And also how to do that? Is it edit?  Just worried that it has bedn 2 days and nothing yet. Btw i have visited au before but it was in 2018 and i checked yes for the previous eta question but i no longer have the number but i left it blank.

2nd question is my niece now wants to follow. So she would neec to apply on her own using her eta app on her phone right? The thing is she just graduated from uni and does’t have a job yet. So se are currently preparing the documents as i suspect she wont get auto approval in eta.  Besides parents sponsor letter, parents financial statments,  sponsor letter from my brother, what else can she upload to demonstrate she will be coming back? She did visit australia in year 2016

Thanks in advance on your feedback/inputs

Because you cannot apply for the ETA (601) through the immiaccount.

3/4 of Malaysians will get flagged for more documents. Unfortunately, the ETA App does not allow submission of documents, hence you need to creat an immiaccount to submit. Make sure you use the link in the email, not attempt to reapply via the account.

In 2022 after Covid reopening, the backlog resulted in delays of up to 6 weeks. The processing time has shorten since, so most people will get their visa within a week.

If you are the lucky quarter who don't get flagged for documents, you get it within a few minutes.

I kena flagged.

Well, hope you have enough money to convince them you are not going to jump plane.

As explained many times, they are more of looking for good reasons why your wouldn't jump plane. A secure job is probably the best reason.

I’m still waiting..
Day 3

Walaoweh…
Is it not tourist friendly?

Thank You everyone who replied to my post.

They are very tourist friendly. Just not plane jumpers friendly.

Problem with Malaysians is, too many plane jumpers, they have problem telling them apart from real tourists.

It’s your passport that matters, not where you’re based bro.

They will ask in form 1554, give details of Current Location for applicant
