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.

"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.

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.

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.

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,

Hi all,

I am flying to Australia tomorrow and is wondering if we can pack our supplements like vitamin C, fish oil, caffein pills, biotin, piriton, panadol and such to the country.

Do we have to declare these supplement and OTC medication? For some supplements, I will just pack it in a small container and won't have labels. Will that be an issue?

Lastly, when do we need to declare it? Upon arriving in the airport?
