Here's one for Ozmaniac. Vietnamese girlfriend to visit Australia.?

I'm pretty sure that ETA's are not available to Vietnamese citizens. We want my girlfriend (sounds terrible at our age, but she is not a De Facto, fiance or anything of the like) to visit me in Australia for a month or so (I am a citizen). What visa would she need and what can I do to assist in this. She is a successful hotelier and has children in Vietnam so is no risk of overstaying.

    She will have to apply for a subclass 600 Visitor visa on the Tourist stream. The main problem people from high risk countries (e.g. Vietnam) have with getting that visa is usually that the applicant has insufficient ties to their home country and is seen as an overstay risk, but she shouldn't have that problem given the ties you've mentioned. She should make sure she provides evidence that shows why she needs to return to Vietnam after a shortish vacation to run her business and care for her children. She'll also need financial evidence (to show that she won't work here illegally) but that shouldn't be a problem if her business is successful. You can write an invitation letter if you wish but take care not to muddy the waters with saying that she's anything other than a friend who's coming for tourism purposes - a brief outline of heaps of planned tourist activities will help.

    whats up, i'm from Australia, and whilst I agree it somewhat is greater "Americanised" than i'd like, you ought to declare that approximately fantastically much another united states of america in the international (even Ethiopia has "kit Kat" huts recently!) the version between Australia and usa is that right here you may get away the "Americanisation". As somebody reported above, attempt the outback, that's on no account Americanised. We even have untouched rainforests and national parks (including Kakadu) in the north (Queensland and Darwin), besides because of the fact the excellent Barrier Reef. And in Darwin you may circulate swimming with the crocs! on the different hand you will possibly no longer opt to work out organic wonders, if so i'd say circulate someplace quiet out in the greater rural factors, you would be very shocked to be attentive to that persons indexed below are VERY distinctive to those in usa, and we don't have a McDonald's on each block everywhere you circulate right here (some places don't have blocks!). otherwise that's somewhat useful again down right here and meet our indigenous human beings - who're superb! Come see Uluru (Ayer's rock) and meet the locals in Alice Springs. They truthfully have their very own lifestyle, ideals and concepts and are not Americanised in any respect! check out extremely some the sources below, you would be shocked what you will discover right here, because of the fact this could be a continent with purely over 20 million human beings! in spite of this, i think of China is a great place to circulate. individually i'd opt to circulate to Europe, i've got been to the midsection east and a few Asian international places, and usa does not activity me in any respect (sorry!) stable success!

    She'd be better off going to Vung Tau and securing the services of a visa broker in one of the bars. The bar girls use them and I've never heard of one being rejected.(Ask for Colonel Sung) Everything the Australian Immigration want is manufactured, successfully I might add, right here in Vietnam by these guys and their corrupt associates. My wife and I have been together 11 years. Last year we applied for a visa for a 27 day visit. My wife has a book for the house and 2 separate books for 3 blocks of land all of which are in her name. We had return tickets, a receipt for the holiday accommodation, several thousands in the bank, and all the paperwork required. They hummed and harred and after 3 trips to the consulate they issued, reluctantly I felt, the visa 4 days before we were due to fly out. We were at one point considering a spouse visa but I will not put my wife through the interrogation process involved. They're not all whores but they're treated that way.

    Why not have her come over in the General Visitor/Tourist capacity. No need to say she is your girlfriend for this first visit.

    A 1 month tourist visa shouldn't be too much of a problem I wouldn't think.

    I guess that since this one is for Ozmaniac, there's no point in the rest of us answering.
