Re: holiday visa and one way flights help please
Hi Baby75,
We are flying out in June and are doing the same as yourselves. However instead of using the tourist visa we are using the WHV(this is possible as we have no children
) which allows you in on a one way ticket once you can prove that you have enough funds to buy outward tickets.
I have seen a post from someone who says he has entered Australia 3 times with an ETA(I think) on a one way ticket with no problems.
It really is up to yourselves and you have to decide if you want to chance it.
Maybe if you had a bank statement showing that you have sufficient funds for your holiday AND to buy onward flights. This could work...?
There has to be a way around it. There always is.

No don't worry a very valid point and believe me we have been thinking of that in that case it would be come home or get another ETA but they all have complications second eta have to prove you have enough money to support your self and that
more to think about although Ild say we are going to chance it

I would be very worried about that too. 175's are taking 6-10 months on average to process.
Good luck what you decide.

I wouldn't worry too much. Sure if you need to leave Aus before you get your pr visa just go live cheaply in Bali or somewhere for a month or so.
Not such a good idea after all, apparently!!!

Re: holiday visa and one way flights help please
hello
I have just applied for our holiday visa and the system seems to have changed so I emailed Diac to see what way we can fly still have time to change our flights
but here is the information I got back
(An ETA is valid for one year from the date of issue. The conditions of an ETA allows for multiple trips to Australia with a maximum stay of 3 months per visit. You will need to check with the New Zealand Immigration Department in relation to any visa requirements that New Zealand have.)
My Take on this is that you are able to Fly in to Australia with an out bound flight to NZ or any were else and then if you want come back to Australia and stay for another while as long as you ETA is valid they are Valid for a year now
but intrested to see what others think

You don't need to apply for a new ETA, you can use the same one, but you do have to leave Australia after 3 months, as that is the maximum you can spend in the country at one time on an ETA.
