With a Chinese passport, transit at the Australian airport, whether or not you enter the country or stay for a few hours, you also have to apply for a transit visa! This usually occurs on trips through Australia to New Zealand or the Cook Islands, where I read a post saying that the whole trip had come to an end because of the absence of an Australian transit signature.
Focus: Australia requires cross-border visas for all passengers who transfer from Australia (of course, except for visa-free countries, but China`s mainland is not on the transit visa-free list). In addition, holding a Hong Kong passport for no more than eight hours is not necessary to apply for a cross-border signature.
About the Australian transit sign
—— Transit Visa ——
Australian transit visa (visa category 771):
However, whenever you transfer through Australia for a stay of (1 ≤ 72) hours, you must apply for a transit visa (visa category 771).
This visa allows you to stay in Australia for up to 72 hours and then must leave Australia.
No fee is required to apply for an Australian transit visa, but more information (12 pages) and supporting documents are also required. A ticket itinerary and a valid visa to the destination are required.
The official processing time is: 75% of applications: 9 days; 90% of applications: 19 days. I personally tested the processing time is 4 days, Monday afternoon to submit the application, Friday morning received the email signed.
