AU have their own officer in KLIA, if that's the case then most country would send their officer? lol?

If there are high chance of getting send back then it would be at the border clearing immigration lah not in KLIA.

KLIA? If no ETA you probably get rejected before your bag checks in. 😂

In your 3 points you maintained having good financial records - yes all of us know that.

So how do you know its the australian border force when u went in may? are they plained clothes?

if they stopped u - what do you think they will ask? your financial records? do people print that out?

Look presentable also kena. The one who went with me was senior manager level lagi. we all chinese, malay, indian (1 malaysia). I wore t-shirt, jeans, sneakers.

Dont think its a matter of presentable.. i wear shorts and slippers on to flights towards aus. Never kena question before.

With technology these days, you would have been screened before hand and any red flag of yours will be highlighted to the officers already

Don't you all use the e-Gate when you clear immigration in Australia? I don't know whether it's because we are PRs or not, but my wife (she carries a Singaporean passport) is eligible for e-Gate use (no counters), and I use my Malaysian passport via the e-Gate (SmartGate), no worries. Don't even have to see the immigration officer's black face.

hello just wondering if anyone faced a similar problem to this? I already email to the ETA team though meanwhile i just want to get some opinions.

In the midst of my 2nd ETA application for me and my  family.

Was rejected for whole of family on 21st february . .wanted to apply again today.. but only my wife is eligible, mine and 2 kids is not eligible..

But all 4 of us was rejected on 21st february due to same reason. Is there any reasons for this?

or just some system screw up?

Basically can consider rejected outright la

ETA usually no need give any additional information. It used to be just a formality pre 2019, like it was basically like visa free to the UK, taken for granted.

Now look at what our fine countrymen has got the rest of us into

If only got no family there can just say F off to boring Australia

I’m more scared to apply and get rejected and then it will be impossible to enter any other western country because they know if this rejection

Even my USA visa application was so straightforward. Interview not even 30 seconds, and got 10 year multiple entry tourist visa.

>australia is 6th largest country
>”one week can finish”

lmao

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 💀

Honestly 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

Literally just declare everything - as ABF website says: "Don't be sorry, just declare it" except they fall into the "Goods without declaring" category (only 5 items).

You can search for details here as they provided pretty comprehensive documentation: https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving...n/list-of-items
One potential issue is the "no label" as usually it's safer to bring it with commercial packaging intact - I did that when bringing my own medicine supplies and they did check.

Have a safe flight tomorrow!

Border security can be a bit racist one… Chinese are usually portrayed as smugglers of food items, Vietnamese and Thais are often shown to be drug smugglers as is anyone of South American and/or African origins.

Malaysians have been shown to be potential airplane jumping illegal fruit pickers.

AMDK usually light “crimes” like weed from Bali or Thailand visit. AMDK are the most suci murni species on beautiful Mother Earth.
