Hi all,
I bought Perth flights because it was cheap in Sept/Oct before realizing the issue with Visa application now everyone is saying.

2 questions.
1. If I’m travelling in Sept/Oct, should I apply now? If approved it’s always 12 months or could be shorter? Because if it fail, at least can have backup plan of reapplying after 3 months.

2. If possibly traveling AU for business in May (not confirmed yet), should I get that visa and use it for personal trip in Nov? Or should I apply my tourist one now first and use it for Business if that happened.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I think I will follow your steps as well. Apply early for peace of mind. My business trip will be regular meetings in office and would be 601 as well then. Then I would just apply for tourist and just use it for business trip then.

If you have already bought, then no hurry to apply ETA. If "business" trip us just attending meetings, it's the same ETA so can apply before your business trip and use for your holiday later. It's always valid for multiple entries for a year, maximum 3 months stay each entry.

Thanks! Haha hurry to apply ETA because still have that doubt that will have issues later. So better clear it now since not planning to go AU 2 times tourist in a year.

[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.

Bro… don’t need until post 3 times.
If using 3 phones and 2 different passports also can’t get through, seems like user problem rather than app problem. Why don’t you find some relative or friend that done it before?

If you’re at the camera snap portion, it’s not related to the NFC scanning yet. That’s on the next step after passing the camera snap.

Also, if your trip is next week, just prepare to let it go and postpone / cancel what you can. If auto ETA 601 gets rejected and need to submit documents, it would take more than 1 week.

BTW, to others that helped me previously, managed to get my visa approved after 10 days. smile.gif great to have my visa earlier and don’t need to worry even if more than 6 months from trip.

Update 1: my brother (Oz PR)  bought a house in Melbourne and wants us to come soon for house warming. He is also having engagement party with fiancé (Oz Citizen)

I applied for my parents and myself, they both instant approved and I need to give supporting documents 💀💀

Going to be hard to prove I have enough money, as I am a fresh graduate and finished most of my own money in the uk lmao

Wondering if can use parents bank income with letter that they agree to sponsor bla bla. I do have property in Cyberjaya but it isn’t even completed yet 💀💀

If I can get my job application through by next week will use that too!

Does anyone know if there is a timeframe to give them all of this information before automatically rejects itself?

I am not sure when my new job will be giving the employment contract 💀mHonestly don’t care if I can cancel the visa, just don’t want it to be rejected as it’ll f with visiting other countries

Having UK brp and 10 year American visa did not help me so beware others too

Use parents bank accounts if have FD with 2 names use that.
Use your brother’s address and get a letter stating your expenses will be borne by him during duration of visit, reason and won’t overstay.

Show your new work employment letter and confirmation of leave (shows that you will return)
