ETA cannot be replaced by eta requested
Hey there,
my mum had this note on her ETA approval...what does it mean? |
Re: ETA cannot be replaced by eta requested
I'm guessing here - does she already have a valid ETA?

It may be something like a "No further stay" clause. Hopefully one of the agents will see this and be able to answer, but I think it sounds like she already has a valid ETA and they will not issue a new one for some reason. You say your dad has a new one, so are they already here? And did she apply for it within AUstralia or outside? You may need to contact DIAC for clarification.

They are at the airport in germany as we speak ! They applied for the ETA in germany a couple of days ago....very weird. I hope they wont cause any dramas.
It sound as if she already had one and they refused another one, thus leaving her with the original expiry date. If thats not it, I'm stumped. If they get no problems when entering the country, her ETA will clearly be currently valid, but once they get here I'd take them to your local DIAC office and find out exactly what the position is. |

Was she applying for an ETA while already holding an existing ETA? So effectively applying to renew it? Or was she applying from scratch, without one already covering her?

That's probably what it was. Perhaps you can't get an ETA while you still have an extant one. Do make sure she knows when the one she has expires though, won't you?

You can get them to overlap. I applied for a new one once when mine still had a month left on it, and had no problem.My mate has done a similar thing. Maybe there is some reason for a no further stay clause?

When you apply on-line and the system recognises you have valid ETA already, it asks you do you wish to proceed and cancel the existing one - if you tick no to that, no new ETA would be issued and maybe this message would come up. So you just need to be sure that they did get a new approved ETA in case the old one is still in force and expires before they travel. Regards Tony Coates MARN 0635896 |

Regards Tony Coates MARN 0635896 Too late to do it before they travel, it seems they only applied 2 days before travel, and when the question was posted they were at the airport! We shall have to wait and see what happens when they get here........ |
