This.

Last I applied ETA it took 2 months but that was in late 2021- 2022 when AU borders opened up.

Now I'm unsure. Keeping check in this thread also.

I'm gonna apply my ETA tomorrow. Need to travel in November. Just apply and wait.

My friends got theirs recently after 1 to 3 days after submitting their documents.

Applying for the sub class 601
Am trying to fill in the form and submit the documents at the end.

i am having problem attaching the documents. It will only accept ONE document per section! Yet it says 60 documents max.
Anyone have this problem?

And therefore, i cannot even attach the form 1554! Why is this happening?

u can attached as much attachment as you want per section. Its has no restriction unless your file/PDF is too large.

Too large? Thought PDF is normally quite small ?
i can only attach 1 file in each section! How? i cannot even attach the Form 1554 in the same section as my passport scan.

im not sure but im on the last section 2nd attachment section i attached 7 files .

You try click attach file again after the first attachment is successfully upload.
*
The message was "Unable to attach the PDF file provided. The number of pages will exceed the attachment limit."

Maybe the scanned files are too large. It worked last year!

And even after i reduce the resolution!

Bro, something's not right then. My wife and I are in the midst of our RRV reapplications, and I've just uploaded some 40 supporting documents to demonstrate tax/money/family/cultural/work ties to Australia - all of them were uploaded and stored safely.

HOWEVER, you do have to check before submission: if there's a period of inactivity, the documents get deleted (but not your application), and you'll have to reattach them.

Good luck.

After filling in, i find out that they have AGAIN directed me to apply for visa 600 which requires a payment of $190. Same as last year! bangwall.gif

thats the wrong one.

You should apply in APP first ETA Australia , after that they will charge u RM60 = 20AUD.

then u will received an email directed to a platform .

then only u filled in ur details there, the payment will be charged if the application is successful. They will refund u once its rejected.
*
No. You should not have to pay $190 for sub class 600 aprt from the $20 ETA fee.
The email they sent showed that i applied or SC 601 and yet the link they sent me is for SC600 which is 12 month stay and requires payment of $190.

When you file your details, do you start with new application?
And in your new appliaction, do you see a SC 601 under the visitor tab? Mine does not have 601. It only has 600, 602 and 651

You should access the Immiaccount via the link in the email asking for documents, then it should lead to the page for submitting documents for 601 visa.

You CANNOT see any application for 601 visa if you don't use the email link. So people just log in, and can see only 600, and applied for 600 and paid....

Already managed to get approval 2 months back. biggrin.gif
Managed to get 601 through my wife's link. Mine was to 600. laugh.gif 600 costs $190 now.

Sorry for newbie question… what’s the difference between 600 and 601 please?
*
601 is 12 month multiple entry validity with a max stay of 3 months per entry
600 is 12 month validity without restriction in the length of stay
