Tourist visa requirement- dummy plane ticket??

Santi

We're on the process of completing our documents for our tourist visa. A friend of mine who happens to vist au twice already said that i need to submit a "dummy" plane ticket confirming the date of departure to and from australia. I am hesitant to submit such fake document for it might affect the success of our visa grant once the CO finds out the real score..

I should warn you that it is very easy to check whether a ticket is real or not... If they will check and find out you submitted a dummy ticket, it could mean an immediate visa refusal and a few years of exclusion period.

Suggest you go get yourself a booking from one of the travel agencies here - they may charge a nominal fee for this though.

thanks psychoboy. do i really need to get a confirmed booking prior to visa grant?

i think when your friend said, "dummy ticket" it does not mean na fake ticket..

travel agencies normally can book you ticket without confirming/paying it yet..

that is what a "dummy" ticket is.. they would normally ask you to pay a fee for this service..

not all travel agencies can do this.. so just ask..

i dont think the confirmed ticket is a requirement though..

I applied for a tourist visa last year but I did not submit any confirmed ticket. I just bought my ticket when I got my visa.

In my experience - airlines can usually give you a reservation document just so you can be able to present this to embassies for visa purposes.

Check mo Singapore Airline, in Singapore, they usually provide this to potential customers.

AFAIK, dinidiscourage din na bumili ng ticket prior to getting a visa..

Thanks all! Visa granted na kami! And i didnt even submit a confirmed or dummy ticket.

Talaga bang wala ng visa label ang tourist? Print out lang ng visa grant ang binigay sa amin

Congrats. Yung cousin in law ko denied. Hirap naman ng condition ng CO. Need daw iestablish ang proof of ties dito nakalagay na ang family and work wala pa din denied pa din. 2nd time na nya.

Santi

okay psychoboy thanks!

yuki, baket kaya?

yung sa amin eto lang: coe from our companies where we are currently employed, car registration under our name, evidence of funds ang proof of ties plus maiiwan kasi 2 kids here sa pinas. 6 working days lang inabot from lodgement to visa grant.

guys question, hindi namin dineclare yung sister in law ko na nasa victoria kasi naka bridging visa pa lang on their way to PR, instead we ask for invitation from my wife's cousin-in-law na citizen na dun. Will it matter na di namin dineclare yung sis in law ko sa future visa application? baka daw kasi di kami ma approve pag sila ginamit namin sponsor sa TV.

thanks again!

Mahirap ito sagutin @batman - for one, di natin alam ano airline preference mo and when is your desired date of departure...

Having said that, google will be in the best position to assist you. 🙂

Cheers!!
