You should have book the more expensive refundable ticket and attach that.

That ETA is the one that need applicant to submit all the required documents

old folks on the eta app immediately approved after payment made

Eastern Suburb defo not first time migrator would choose but means careful planning 
Ya, planning to apply.

Aussie visa supposed to be instant approval right? it's not a visa, just travel authorization

maybe too many malaysian overstay already lmaooo

even last time i went, one malaysian couple came so obvious scam, had whole printed itenary full of information, but didn't know what to fill up on landing form

in the end i saw them taken for extra screening rip.

I have a friend too, malay muslim single male in 20s, he and his brother were both rejected this travel thing, and the in person visa.

They were trying to go for their australian citizen cousin wedding, and even with proof, offer letter, invite letter, bond, multiple tries, all failed

aussie only country that dont give reason, and dont let you reapply same visa also

drakonian

Just to update TS also.

Applied on Saturday
Approved on Tuesday.

The process more streamlined but the documents they asked haha a lot.

Next time you are at the KLiA boarding gate, keep your eyes wide open. You should see 1-2 immigration officers there. They do turn away those with ETA.

If i recall there are also multiple stories in the news of msian travellers being turned away at the boarding gate. Sob stories about burning prepaid travel with no recourse since the officers decision at KLIA will over ride any prior approvals.

Yeah, I don’t think they flag based on dressing. If like this then those back packers from US/Europe wouldn’t be able to enter Australia. Some really look homeless🤣.
One tip I can give is when you approach the immigration counters at Australia, be prepared to answer them when they ask you some innocuous question like “why are you in Australia or where are you staying or planning to go”.  The way they asked is so nonchalant and friendly but behind is to an attempt to check if you are a genuine tourist or traveller. Many got caught here due to language barrier - Australian do swallow their words!.

"if u r a genuine visitor then u have nothing to fear.. because u will have the right answers to my questions and the papers that i want to see.. "

a friendly aunty angmoh lady immigration told me when i was abit nervous + tired after overnite flight into Melbourne during my first trip 25 years ago..

since then i have travelled there almost annually.. for work + family.. no issue with immigration. a few even welcomed me back.. (of course cause i freaking pay taxes there too)

unless u super unlucky.. u will get be welcomed into Aus.. maybe will take extra effort la..

Primary check
So if you are flagged as high risk, the smart gate will prompt error and ask u to go to manual counter.

Secondary check
is those immigration officer that holding tablets after the smart gate that will intercept you after you pass the e-gates if they see you as suspicious
