Applying for an Australian visa has been an extremely troublesome task, requiring a pile of materials not to speak, and a pile of applications in English, just like writing an college entrance examination. Fortunately, from February 20, 17, Australia visa to China citizen open online application, so quickly taste fresh. The following is a very detailed illustration of the playbook.
Online Guest Application VS Chinese online Application
The difference between online visitor applications and the Chinese online application service launched at the end of December 16 is:
Online visitor applications are submitted online through the Australian Immigration Department website at a cost of A $135, while previously launched Chinese online applications are made through the Australian Visa Centre, which requires an additional 220 yuan service charge in addition to visa fees. The biggest difference after all is that the former saved 220 yuan.
Please visit the Australian immigration website http://www.border.gov.au/immiaccount online to apply.

Regarding the translation: the documents requested by the Immigration Board must be English translations, but I did not notice this when I applied, so all the documents provided are in Chinese (including account books, bank running water, etc.). Credit card bill) just wrote the name of the file in English when uploading, and the Chinese file was completely fine
Payment, visa fee A $135, and a charge of A $1.32 if visa is used
Application submitted February 27, March 1 received a visa, more than one year, very fast.
Originally only when processing Australian visa found that there is no detailed strategy online, so the application process was recorded down to share.
Visa FAQ
Q: how long after visa application?
A: according to different circumstances, it usually takes 2 to 5 working days to sign, and the two applications submitted at the same time sometimes have the problem of passing at different times, sometimes even after the submission of the first pass will also have, wait patiently
Q: do you have to fill out the form in English? isn't there a Chinese language service?
A: the so-called Chinese completion service is a charging service provided by the Australian Visa Centre in China, and the online application is submitted directly to the Australian Immigration Service, so it must be completed in English (they can't read it if you fill in Chinese).
Do you need to submit forms such as Qx1419 and where to upload them?
A: the web page you fill in online is actually a form, so you don't need to fill in any more forms, of course you don't have to upload them.
Q: how to apply with family, children and friends?
A: after registering an immigration account, you can submit N applications from that account, which means you don't register one account for everyone, but you need to submit each person's application. The first applicant can create a team with a team number, and then fill in the team number when the applicant applies. According to immigration instructions, this can be signed together.
Q: do children of what age also need to fill in the form?
A: yes
Q: how come there is no husband and wife in the same pedestrian relationship?
A: I don't know. Ask immigration.
Q: with your husband, does everyone need to provide a property certificate with their parents?
A: as a team, only one person's property certificate is required, but the property provided or the bank running water needs more money to convince the immigration officials that you can afford the travel.
Q: how much does the property certificate have to be issued? does it have to be 50,000?
A: The so-called balance of 50,000 is only a customary balance requirement for domestic travel agencies to apply for visas. In fact, no country in the world has a specific amount of balance requirements (Japan has only required tax returns for many years). Therefore, if you apply for a visa for any country, you only need to have enough balance. As long as you have enough, you can calculate your own travel budget and you can afford it.
(my American visa, Schengen, Japan, New Zealand and Australia visa for many years have not provided 5w balance, and even the property certificate has not been issued, so I gave it to the bank for running water.)
Q: does the material have to be scanned? can you take a picture?
A: in theory, as long as the photo quality is clear, but it is recommended scanning, looking formal, but also more sincere. Otherwise, the immigration staff who are in a bad mood may think that you are too perfunctory and refuse to sign.
Q: is there any requirement for photo background color?
A: no, no.
Q: do you need to provide translation and orthodoxy of materials?
A: no, just write it in English in the instructions for uploading the file. Just find out what it is.
Q: have you received 2 emails after submission?
A: no, the two e-mails are your payment receipt and one is the notice that the application has been accepted
Q: how do I use the last visa?
A: when you sign out, your email will receive a pdf visa and print it with you. Chinese e-passport holders (starting with passport number E) can pass through a self-service customs clearance machine at Australian airports, not even pdf printed copies. But the advice is printed out, just in case.
Q: can I pay by UnionPay? Can I have someone else pay for it?
A: no, you can use visa and MasterCard, but not UnionPay. You can pay for it.
Q: my passport is in white. What if I don't have any travel certificate?
A: then don't submit. When the upload is complete, a dialog box will pop up to remind you that there is a file that is not submitted. Just explain the reason why you did not submit it.
Q: how do you write your travel plan?
A: probably write down the plans for a few days, where to go, a few people, whether self-drive or public transport, if have already booked the corresponding domestic flight or bus, can write down the specific information
Q: what is the source of travel property?
A: tell me what kind of work you do, the source of income, whether you pay for the trip yourself or your family
