Our first Aussie visa application was submitted
online. Such a neat and comfortable way to file a visa application. If you are one of the few lucky countries, you can apply for so called ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)
subclass 976 visa which is quite painless and there is only a processing fee of 20 AUD. Or you can also file the
subclass e676 visa if you are part of EU which can still be done online. I wasn't part of the lucky countries, so had to file the 676 application. It takes about 1 hour to complete with tons of questions, but it is free :) and no hassle of standing in lines. One can also save the application with a unique ID and password at any time during the process, so that is quite convenient.
Some tips:
- I am not sure if it works in Firefox as I got some problems.
- Do not enter any special characters as they will be garbled. Stick to regular US alphabet.
It is suppose to take up to 2 weeks to receive, so we shall see if it goes smoothly. I have added our travel itinerary and bank statements to the application just in case, so unless there are any unforseen issues, we should be ok. The progress of the application can be checked
here.
