Australian visitor's visa

Savenaca Vakaliwali­wa, Suva

-

From the perspectiv­e of a travel and visa consultant, I must thank the visa officers from the Australian Embassy for the fantastic work they are doing. I feel they are a bit relaxed now compared to a couple of years ago.

From experience, I would say that it was easier to get a tourist visa to New Zealand, but to the USA and Australia, it was strict and tough.

But today, I am writing this letter because I am really impressed because all the Australian tourist visa applicatio­ns I have done this year have all been granted.

A client did his Australian tourist visa applicatio­n last year and was not approved, but I did the same last week and he has been granted a three months visit. Wow, I am speaking to myself that either the Australian Embassy visa officers are being told to take it easy with Fijian visa applicatio­ns or I might be getting very good in doing the visa applicatio­ns! Anyway, a big thumbs up to all the visa officers at the Australian Embassy.
