Hello guys, i will be visiting Melbourne this coming November/December for 'The Weeknd' Concert.

i just bought the concert tickets yesterday, and i already apply my Visa yesterday. Im still waiting for my approval before i buy my flight tickets and i will be staying at my friends place .

Will i get approve within this few week? cos i did not attached my flight details the only thing i attached was my National Identical Card, Passport, my concert tickets as evidence for visiting.
Please advice.

Thank You

Bro, realistically do you envisage yourself visiting Australia twice in 365 days?

I submitted ETA application on 8th April and until today there is no update. Is the time frame normal? it's has been more than 2 week since I submitted the application

May I check for those submitting EPF Statements, did you get it translated? EPF statement is in BM

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 for this 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 so left it blank.

2nd question is my niece now wants to follow. So she would need 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 we 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

These f*ckers are the ones that make it difficult for me every time. MCB really.

Before some people cry "oh Australia just rasis with Malaysian", nope it's because of CB Kias like this. If you are old people like my mom ETA is still almost instant approval after payment even if using Malaysian passport. Those <40 years old will kena like this.

For Malaysians below 40 yo (based on friends and family's ETA applications), generally you will need to give yourself more time to get an ETA.

I've been applying every year for the past 3-4 years, every year also ask for more info, every year also I'll apply around 2 months in advance lol. My most recent application was in March this year, submitted extra info on 3rd March, got the approval letter on 8th March. Hopefully you'll get a respond within this week.
