electronic visa for 173

qianshao_13

my parent just got visa for 173 but since 1 Oct 12, there is no visa label requested on passport for chinese applicants.

there is VEOV to verify the visa online. but my parents need to be onshore and make phone call in Australia to get this password to access to visa details.

if there is any issue regarding visa when parents try to enter into Australia and there is no label on their passport, how can we do?

Feel the Aus immi is very stupid in someway in which they set up the procedure?


not sure if anyone have met this situation before?

澳洲入境的确是不需要贴签的，护照扫一下就行了，贴签是为了让中国边防看，没贴签他们不让你出境啊。。

i was advised it is new policy as Aus entered agreement with China to have label free from Oct this year.

Do I require a visa label?

Australia’s modern electronic visa system does not require you to have a visa label placed in your passport to confirm your immigration status and entitlements in Australia.

When you check-in to fly to Australia, airline staff will use your passport to electronically confirm that you have authority to travel to Australia prior to boarding the aircraft. See: About Your Visa

From 1 October 2012, new arrangements approved by the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China, allow all persons travelling to Australia on any Australian visa, to travel without a visa label in their passport (“label-free visas”).

These arrangements apply to Chinese and other nationals in the People’s Republic of China who:

- depart from an airport in mainland China travelling on a flight, or flights, directly or indirectly, to Australia and hold a boarding pass for their final flight to Australia; or

- depart mainland China transiting by land or ferry through the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in order to travel on a flight or flights to Australia.

The Ministry of Public Security has advised that any person granted an Australian visa, who intends to travel to Australia by transiting through the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR), by land or ferry, to board an onward flight, or flights, in the Macau or Hong Kong SARs, will not be eligible for visa label-free travel.

Australian visa holders who are transiting the Macau SAR will require a visa label and must provide evidence of confirmed travel from mainland China by land or ferry to the Macau SAR and confirmed onward flight bookings from the Macau SAR or Hong Kong SAR.
Letter of approval

All Australian visa holders will be provided with a letter informing them of the details of the grant of their visa (“grant letter”). This grant letter is not considered by DIAC as evidence of the grant of a visa for the purpose of travel. However, Australian visa holders are encouraged to keep a copy of their visa grant letter for their own records.

Which Visa Office will put a visa label in my passport?

There may be a very limited number of special circumstances where some Australian visa holders require a visa label to be placed in their passport.

If special circumstances apply to you it is possible for you to have a visa label placed in your passport by the Visa Office of the Australian Consulate-General in Guangzhou. This is called ‘visa evidencing’.

For further information about visa evidencing see: Applying at the Australian Consulate-General Guangzhou
