To Australia on your own. Independent travel to Australia with one hundred dollars. Independent visa application

Australia is an amazing country! Who among us would not like to see the legendary Opera theatre or Great Barrier Reef? Unfortunately, the prices for holidays are no less shocking. Why is a trip to Australia so expensive, is it possible to visit it without depleting the family budget, and are there cheap tours to Australia? Let's figure it out.

About 4 million tourists from all over the world visit Australia every year, of which 15-20 thousand people are from Russia

When an ordinary Russian hears a price of 150 rubles for one and a half liters of ordinary bottled water, it comes as a surprise. But we should not forget that this is a country with a high standard of living and the salary of an ordinary employee there is incommensurate with Russian salaries, so the prices are corresponding.

The local currency is Australian dollars, 1 AUD currently costs a little more than 50 rubles, for Last year it grew by 10%, and so did the budget Russian tourist for “pocket expenses” increased proportionally.

Basic monetary unit is the Australian dollar, in rubles it costs slightly less than the US dollar

Australia is located on the other hemisphere, the flight there takes about 20 hours. This means that a plane ticket will be a significant expense. In addition, you are unlikely to want to limit your travel to staying in one city. Tourists travel between cities using local airlines; this is another “minus” from the trip budget. Obtaining an Australian visa will also be expensive.

Let's get down to specifics and look at what expenses await you, how much do tours to the “kangaroo capital” cost and how to make a trip there cheaper?

Traveling to Australia: on your own or through a travel agency?

Since this country is very popular destination, the travel agency will definitely offer you several travel options, including quite cheap tours to Australia. Oddly enough, it is often cheaper to use the services of a travel agency than to travel on your own. This happens due to charter flights and agreements between operators and hotels that are ready to provide a partner discount to the travel agency.

Traveling through an agency is convenient because it is prepared on a turn-key basis and you can additionally get many convenient options, such as transfer from the airport. To register, you only need to provide Required documents, choose the tour you like and voila - you are a traveler!

Another advantage of traveling through a travel agency is that you don’t have to worry if you don’t know the local language and you don’t need to waste time on self-composition your trip program. It has already been compiled, movements and sightseeing are planned in advance. Your task is to board the bus at the appointed time and go on an organized excursion; it is very convenient.

Australia has many famous attractions that are a must-see for anyone traveling there. For example, Sydney Harbor Bridge, National Park Kakadu, Port Arthur and the Bells of the Swan.

On the other hand, when organizing through an intermediary, you will be somewhat limited by the tour program. Therefore, if you prefer to spontaneously make decisions about your travel program, you will have to weigh the pros and cons yourself and decide how convenient it is for you to go to Australia: through an agency or on your own.

How to save money on a tour to Australia?

If you can even call yourself a traveler, then you know at least two ways to save money on a tour. Let us remind you: you need to contact the company to arrange a trip either much in advance, or vice versa - when the flight is already around the corner. By purchasing a tour 7-12 months in advance, you can save up to 30% of the cost, the same story with last-minute tours. Therefore, if possible, take care of your vacation in advance or sit on your suitcases, ready to break away.

Another way to get cheap tour– constantly monitor discounts and promotions, they are often very attractive, but do not last long.

How to make traveling to Australia cheaper?

Your journey will definitely begin long before departure, with a visa. Is it possible to save money on this?

Independent visa application

It cannot be said that obtaining a visa to Australia is a simple and straightforward procedure. You will be required to provide a lot of documents. Please note that all provided copies of documents must be notarized and translated into English by an accredited translator.

In addition, you must pay a consular fee of 130 AUD, which is about 7,000 rubles. Please note that if your visa is refused, the fee is non-refundable. When submitting documents, you will need to attach medical insurance (about 1000 rubles).

In order to obtain an Australian visa, you will need to collect a decent package of documents, have their copies certified, translated and sent to the visa center

Thus, when planning your budget, you need to take into account the cost of translator and notary services, payment of consular fees, and insurance. In total, about 11,000 rubles will need to be spent on independently obtaining a visa for one person.

Visa through intermediaries

If you decide to contact a specialized company for registration, know that their services will cost at least 5,000 rubles. In this case, if, of course, the company is conscientious and experienced, you can be sure that the consular fee will not be lost due to a minor error in filling out the documents. Also, you do not have to delve into the intricacies of the procedure and scour the Internet in search of detailed instructions for filling out all the necessary forms.

So what is the best way to apply for a visa?

By and large, if you set a goal to travel to Australia on the most budget possible and are willing to sacrifice several hours of personal time to delve into the topic, feel free to choose the option of getting it yourself. Submitting documents is not so difficult, especially considering that from October 1, 2015, this can be done remotely.

How else can you save on a tour to Australia?

Do not forget that the continent you are traveling to is located on the other hemisphere, so summer there falls in our calendar winter months. This means that getting out of our frosts to the sunny continent will cost a considerable amount, because the Australian summer is the height of the tourist season. A worthy alternative would be spring or autumn; it is in the off-season that you can grab a really cheap ticket.

There are many Tourist Information points scattered throughout the country, where you, as a tourist, will be given background information and help if problems arise. You should also take a special free catalog there; it contains a map of the city plus many coupons for discounts in popular tourist places. Using a coupon from this catalog, in some places you can get a discount of up to 50%, which, you see, is quite a lot when it comes to economical travel.

Do not forget that it is not only money that can be saved, but also time and nerves. Before traveling, check the validity period of your international passport in advance, because if it suddenly turns out to be expired, and you find out about it a couple of days before departure, you are guaranteed losses; at best, you will need to urgently issue a new international passport. Read more about what to do if your passport expires

Another small but nice feature: if the cost of the souvenirs you purchased while on a trip is more than 300 AUD, a tax refund of 12% of the cost of the goods is provided. To receive this compensation, please find a TRS office and present your purchase receipts, boarding pass and passport before flying out of Australia.

You can learn briefly about tourism in Australia from the story of the “Recreation and Tourism” program on the RBC TV channel.

Summarizing

Despite the fact that Australia has a reputation as an expensive country, it is quite possible to travel there on a medium budget if you know where to save money. You can go there with tourist group or a savage, live in a hotel or put up a tent in a campsite, travel in a rented car or on foot - there are a lot of options and each has its own pros and cons. Choose based on what you want to get: a comfortable exploration of popular tourist spots or a complete immersion in the local flavor. This country is worth visiting!

When I first visited Australia six years ago, tourist visas were issued at the snap of a finger, but today the situation has changed for the worse. Over the five years of living in Australia, I have repeatedly helped my friends and relatives get to the Green Continent, so I will dwell in detail on the features that need to be taken into account when submitting documents.

Australia – magnificent country with stunning nature, people, history and culture. But in order to get to this alluring continent, located on the other side of the world, you need not only to survive a flight that lasts almost a day, but first of all to obtain the coveted visa. As far as I know, a visa to Australia is among the top 3 most difficult to obtain among Russians. The thing is that Russia is included in the list of high-risk countries (this means that our compatriots have already ruined their reputation), and Australia has a strict policy regarding illegal migration. No matter who you are, no matter what you are, the visa officer will look at you as a potential illegal immigrant until you prove otherwise.

I suggest you read more about the life and culture of Australia.

Today, Australian visas are no longer affixed to your passport (they are electronic), which means that the lengthy process of obtaining one will not disrupt your travel plans, because the treasured identification document will remain with you for the entire period of consideration of the application. The application form can be submitted online, which is very convenient. At any time, you can check the status of your application and upload a forgotten document. Visa fee: US$102 (AUD 135) plus usage fee credit card: 1.08% of fee for Visa and MasterCard. Payment is made exclusively in Australian dollars, and the exchange rate to American changes daily and sometimes very strongly, which means only one thing: the information will become out of date within a week.

Set of documents required to apply for a visa to Australia

The list of documents varies depending on the situation and age of each tourist. To begin with, I will tell you about the simplest and most obvious way to submit an application, when the applicant has reached the age of majority and pays for his trip on his own. And then I will consider complicated situations that may seem difficult, such as the lack of a certificate from work and others. So, if you are over 18 years old, prepare the following documents:

completed Form 1419 (can be downloaded from the consulate website);
copies of pages of a foreign passport with biometric information (photo, where, when and by whom it was issued);
copies of pages with previously issued visas, including those pasted into the old passport (if you have one);
one passport size photograph 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm;
notarized translation of the certificate of name change, if there was such a procedure;
notarized translation of birth certificate;
documents evidencing service in military structures;
evidence of sufficient funds to visit the country: bank statement, certificate of employment;
a description of your travel plan for Australia in English (where and when you will be, what you plan to visit);
medical insurance for the duration of your stay - recommended for everyone, mandatory for people over 75 years of age;
evidence of your intention to return to your country of residence.

It’s worth approaching the last point creatively, because the visa officer’s decision will largely depend on it. Evidence of your connection with your homeland can be evidence of the presence of a family here (marriage certificate, birth of children), business, real estate or other assets. A letter from the employer stating that your position remains yours, or a certificate of university study.

Australians are unlike Russians precisely in the importance they attach to detail. So, for example, a passport of a cat or dog, in which two people are registered as guardians, on Southern continent can serve as excellent evidence of an active family life and division of responsibilities. And this document will demonstrate the reality of the relationship no worse than a joint bank account. Therefore, do not panic if you have not yet earned money for an apartment, a car, or started a family and business. Write a letter with a Pioneer Oath stating that you undertake to return home when your visa expires and in no way intend to break Australian laws. Tell us about your pet, to whom you are terribly attached, about your beloved grandmother, to whom you go on weekends with groceries. Get your mother's birth certificate and a photograph of you and your grandmother to prove your relationship. Think through your route in detail and tell us how you are going to save money on your trip. Maybe you intend to explore the world on a rented bike or have already found travel companions for your road trip to Canberra. But take the issue seriously; in this difficult time for obtaining an Australian visa, you must make every effort to prove your love for Russia.

The passport must be valid for at least another 3 months at the time of entry into the country.

Apply yourself or use the services of an agency

The agency will give you a translation of the list of documents that is already listed on the website, and a questionnaire, based on which they will fill out Form 1419 for you in English. They will advise you to collect the maximum number of papers to confirm your intention to return and will charge you payment for the services provided. Is it worth using their help? It’s definitely worth it only if you are not fluent in English and there is absolutely no one to help you with translations and writing.

Otherwise, I don’t see anything difficult in collecting documents. If you have a question when filling out Form 1419, you can safely call the Australian Embassy call center and check with the operator.

Will they be able to get a visa in a faster time frame than indicated on the official website?

The standard processing time for an application is one month. I remember the times when this period was equal to two weeks, and a tourist visa could be issued in five days, but that was in 2011 and today, given the political and economic situation in Australia, this is rather a rare exception to the rule.

The fact is that the new party, which came to power a couple of years ago, reduced quotas for the immigration sector, which resulted in a reduction in the number of working positions in the department, and accordingly, the processing time for all visas and their cost increased. Therefore, I highly do not recommend planning a trip before receiving a visa and counting on speeding up the process due to the approaching start of the tour. Try to provide evidence of your travel intentions that does not require upfront costs. For example, a hotel reservation on Booking that does not charge an advance reservation fee allows you to cancel it without losing money.

How to get a visa if you don’t have a proof of income from work

The Australian consulate is not so much interested in how you earn money as in its availability and your clear intention to return home when your visa expires. If you are a freelancer or self-employed person and do not have proof of income from work, please include a bank statement with your application to prove that you can afford the trip. Just don’t go overboard with the amount, because sometimes more doesn’t mean better. A lot of zeros in your account shows not only your well-being, but also a potential threat - the officer may draw a conclusion about your ability to secure an illegal life for yourself, and will deny you a visa on this basis. Instead of demonstrating all your wealth to the consulate, it is better to buy an apartment before traveling to Australia in order to show that property honestly acquired through back-breaking labor will be waiting for you at home. Budget at $90 per day plus accommodation, tickets and health insurance. Yes, you can spend a smaller amount on the spot, but for an Australian, spending ninety dollars in a day is quite normal practice.

If your friend or relative is paying for the trip, he will be required to provide a free form statement that he is a sponsor (you must indicate exactly what expenses he is willing to cover: tickets, accommodation, general expenses), and a certificate of his income. Remember: all documents, applications and letters must be written in English or translated by an accredited translation agency. If the declaration is written by an Australian, he will need to go to the nearest police station and have the signature certified. He will need to do the same with copies of documents.

How to get a visa if there is no visa center or embassy of this country in my city

Today, a resident of any city in Russia can apply for a visa without leaving his home. All you need is internet access, a credit (or debit) card and basic ownership English language.

You can download all documents by creating an ImmiAccount on the Australian Embassy website. To do this, click on the Log into section, then ImmiAcount, and then Create ImmiAcount. Fill out all the information fields, ask verification questions, pay the visa fee, then attach all the necessary documents and wait for a decision from the consulate.

If it is not possible to submit an application electronically, you can collect all the necessary copies of documents and send them to the Australian Consulate in Moscow by courier service at the address 109028, Podkolokolny Lane, 10a/2. In this case, the decision to issue or refuse a visa will be sent to you by email.

Do I need to buy an air ticket and confirm its availability before submitting documents?

A return ticket with an exact date is another indisputable proof of your intention to return to your homeland within the designated period, so its presence will play into your hands when applying for a visa. However, visa officers are also people, they understand that a ticket to Australia is a very expensive pleasure, and, in principle, you can leave your package of documents without it. Especially if you have a whole stack of documents for real estate and a prestigious job waiting for your return from vacation.

I know both cases of refusal of a visa in the presence of a return ticket, and obtaining one in the absence of one. Still, the decision is influenced by a complex of factors, so you need to approach the preparation of documents as vigilantly and responsibly as possible.

What happens if you submit an unpaid air ticket reservation? The visa officer is unlikely to check this.

Do I need to book a hotel and confirm its availability before submitting documents?

There are two ways to go. In the first, you book hotels that do not freeze funds on your card and do not charge a penalty for canceling your reservation. This way you will provide yourself with a “tourist alibi” and protect yourself from unnecessary expenses.

In the second, you plan your route with the meticulousness of a researcher and write about it in detail in a cover letter. For example, if you are going to visit the Great Ocean Road and Campbell Park, and generally travel a lot by car, you will definitely need a motel or hotel for overnight stays. You can map out your route, choose a car rental service, motel and hotel addresses, and indicate them in your story “how I will vacation in Australia.” It’s even better to contact the hotel by email and attach a scan of this correspondence to all other documents.

If you booked your apartment through AirBnb, no problem. Contact the owner and ask him for all the details of the accommodation and infrastructure nearby. Attach a scan of this correspondence, the invoice, the name of the apartment owner, his e-mail and telephone number to your documents.

How to get a visa when traveling with a child, as well as in case of traveling with one of the parents

The process of obtaining a visa when traveling with a child is no different from the usual; I would even say that the chances of receiving a positive decision increase. In this case, the sponsor of the trip is the parent, who also proves his financial security. And the guarantee of return is the fact that family and school are waiting at home.

If the mother is traveling with the child, then all documents are also accompanied by a notarized permission from the father for his child to travel abroad. If a grandmother or guardian is traveling with the baby, then permission must be from both parents in the name of the guardian.

How to increase your chances of getting a tourist visa to Australia

If you have a close relative lying around in Australia who is willing to sign for a sponsorship visa and, in some cases, pay a bond for you (in other words, a deposit), consider yourself a lucky person. This type of visa has the same number (600), but is called Sponsored Family. A sponsor can be a partner, spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, nephew, as well as step and adopted family members.

In this case, the sponsor assumes responsibility for financial support for you in Australia and guarantees that you comply with all visa conditions, including timely departure from the country. The sponsor must provide evidence that he can host you (a rental agreement) and evidence of availability Money(bank statement, salary checks). Sometimes the embassy requires you to pay a deposit, which guarantees the return of the application to your homeland. The bond amount ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 per person and is fully returned to the sponsor as soon as the tourist leaves Australia (if he has not violated any immigration rules).

This method is suitable for people who cannot provide sufficient evidence of their connection with their homeland, and for those who have already been denied Australian visas.

When does your Australia visa expire?

I once flew to Australia on a tourist visa issued for a period of three months. It said “3 months” on it. But what are three months and how are they counted, 30 days each? Same date of the desired month?

I needed to leave without violating any regulations, so I bought my return ticket much in advance. If the letter does not indicate the last calendar day of the visa expiration, play it safe by calling the call center and asking exactly when your period of stay in the country ends. And don’t forget that force majeure also happens when flights are canceled and airports are closed. Leave yourself a couple of days in reserve so that, for example, you fly not from Melbourne, but from Sydney.

Is it possible to extend my stay in Australia?

You flew to Australia and, while walking on the beach in the sunset rays, you met a handsome prince or princess. The feelings are overwhelming, and there’s only a little time left before departure. Is it possible to stay a little longer? It is possible if your visa does not have a NO FUTHER STAY condition. This phrase means that you cannot apply for an extension of your stay in Australia itself; you must travel outside the country and apply for a visa again. But if this registration is not available (which is unlikely, but still), you can try your luck at the local visa center.

If your visa was issued with the words NO FUTHER STAY, do not believe anyone’s assurances that everything will work out (many Australians naively believe that if you remain in the country illegally, you will definitely be forgiven and helped), and leave the country on time. Otherwise, you risk never returning to it - in Australia it is indeed much easier to resolve visa issues, but not for those who have broken the law, the immigration department there is very vindictive.

What they may ask at customs upon entry

Customs officers in Australia are very friendly and humane. The main question they might ask first is: “What is your purpose for visiting Australia?” The answer is obvious, you are a tourist. But there are also nuances. If you're visiting family but on a tourist visa (not sponsored by a family member living in Australia), there's no point in talking about the fact that you have family, friends and relatives here. This may make the customs officer suspicious. However, if the embassy already knows that you are flying at the invitation of a family member, and if you are going to live at their home throughout your vacation, it is worth mentioning this. To avoid saying too much, simply answer the question briefly and smile.

The second thing they may ask you at customs is the address or name of your hotel. Take the trouble to write down this information in advance, or at least remember the name of the area in which you will live. You will also need information about your place of residence to fill out a migration card, which the flight attendants will give to everyone before landing. Don't miss this moment! I wrote in detail about how to fill out a migration card and the full procedure for clearing customs

The third most popular question at Australian Customs is: “Are you carrying more than $10,000?” If you answer correctly (that is, “no”), the gates to another world will open in front of you, and your an amusing trip on the Southern Continent!

What to do if your visa is refused

First of all, don't be discouraged - you are not alone! Be glad that you did not spend extra money on booking hotels and buying tickets, because you were warned in advance about a possible negative decision from the consulate. Today, refusals of Australian tourist visas exceed all reasonable limits, and this is not your fault, but the politicians.

Carefully study the letter with the visa officer's decision; it will definitely indicate the reason why you were refused. This will be your hint if you decide to try again. Perhaps you did not provide enough evidence of connection with your homeland or forgot to attach a bank statement with the balance in your account. Before submitting your documents again, try to thoroughly work out the point that the visa officer did not satisfy, and although the reasons for the refusal sometimes sound completely absurd, you can find some grain in them common sense. Once, my friend was not given a visa, explaining the decision by saying that, apart from work, there was nothing keeping him in his homeland. It sounds like nonsense (which is why he missed his own wedding), because his job also supports this trip to Australia, but it only means one thing: he has provided too little evidence that he does not intend to stay on the Green Continent.

And one more life hack - getting an Australian visa in Asian countries (for example, Indonesia) is much easier than in Moscow - tested by me and my friends. Perhaps it’s the mentality of Asians who are relaxed compared to Muscovites, or maybe Australia’s neighbors have different standards for issuing visas. Therefore, if you are planning a tour to , stop by the consulate to try your luck. Try this time to collect the absolute maximum of all documents and do not be afraid to make a second attempt - the first refusal is not a death sentence. Maybe this time you will succeed!

Finally

Australia is difficult and not the most popular tourist destination, but believe me, the long and sometimes painful preparatory stage is worth it. The main thing is not to panic and not to instill fear in yourself, but to methodically fulfill all the conditions of the consulate. It’s possible to get the coveted visa, but now it’s just a little more difficult than opening Schengen.

Anything to add?

Many have heard horror stories about giant grasshoppers, demonic ducks and killer birds that live in Australia. And they wait around the corner for tourists who have gaped and strayed from the group. But no horror stories will scare away those who want to visit the very ends of the earth. We will tell you in this article how to have an inexpensive holiday in Australia in 2020.

The trip will be turnkey, so vacationers receive additional amenities. This applies to transfers from the airport to the hotel. To get a ticket, you need to contact a verified tourist agency, provide necessary documents, choose a tour.

If a person goes on a trip on his own, then he needs to know the local language well and first draw up a program for his own trip. This includes visiting attractions and planning excursions. Australia has great amount interesting places, where you should definitely go and plunge into this atmosphere. This list should include a visit National Park Cockatoo, Swan Bells, Sydney Harbor Bridge and many others.

If you use the services of intermediaries, tourists are limited in their program. People who like spontaneous and drastic decisions are better off choosing an independent trip.

Saving on buying a tour

Travelers with limited financial means can save a significant amount of money on purchasing a visa or tour. There are two proven methods:

You should contact a travel agency several months before the expected date of your trip.
People come to the company when the plane leaves the country in a few days, and there are many empty seats left.

If a traveler buys a tour to Australia for a year, he saves up to 35% of the total cost.

This rule also applies to purchasing a ticket when the flight is scheduled in 2-3 days. You can ask any questions or consult with the operator of the travel company.

Subtleties of visa processing

How else can you save money on a trip to Australia?

The country is located on the other hemisphere, so the summer period falls on the winter months in Russia. During the season, travel companies sell tours around high prices. To save on travel you need to fly to Australia in autumn or spring. Between seasons, tourists are offered good discounts, and local residents do not inflate prices for excursions, food and treats.

There are a huge number of consultation centers in Australia that are ready to help tourists. There you can get a free catalog that contains a city map, useful coupons, discounts in popular establishments And tourist places. Thanks to coupons you can dine with a 40-45% discount.

Before traveling, you need to take care to check the validity of your passport.

Many tourists do not know that visitors will be able to return part of their money by purchasing souvenirs. If their cost exceeds 300 Australian dollars, then the tourist will be refunded 12% of their price. To receive compensation, you need to find a TRS branch, show the specialist your receipts, coupon and passport.

Attractions

There are several attractions in Australia that you can see for free. Tourists will be able to save on entertainment and diversify their vacation.

Hospital with pig statue

This architectural monument is located in Sydney near one of the hospitals. According to the generally accepted legend, every person who comes, throws a coin, rubs a patch, can become luckier and more successful.

Monument to Charles La Trobe

This monument attracts a huge number of tourists due to its uniqueness. It was included in the list of the most original architectural monuments around the world. It is located in Melbourne.

The monument was dedicated to the first lieutenant - governor of the colony of Victoria.

That's why it's upside down.

Great Ocean Road

During tourist trip You will have to walk a lot, so you need to take sportswear with you in your suitcase. In this place you can take a huge number of unique photographs that will cherish memories for a lifetime.

Many hotels offer good discounts to tourists. It is important to remember that they all require an advance payment to secure your spot. If a person goes on a trip alone, you can consider options for accommodation in hostels.
