Hello house please is the yellow fever card still required for travelers to Australia from Nigeria? Is it required to be presented at the port of entry.A friend of mine who is traveling on a visitor visa needs this information.Thanks |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by FutureDon(m): 7:06am On Oct 05, 2014 |
bannana: Not sure for visitors but they do ask for it at the port of entry. |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by bannana(m): 7:24am On Oct 05, 2014 |
Thanks FutureDon, do you know the best way to get this done? I was told it can be obtained at the Lagos airport for a fee? |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by FutureDon(m): 8:59am On Oct 05, 2014 |
bannana: Yea that's correct. I got mine for 1k at Lagos Port Health, pretty easy and straightforward to get. Don't forget to take your international passport along as it is required. |

Hello house, please help me.I want to inquire if there are any schools currently admitting students for undergraduate or diploma courses or TAFE courses, and if any standardized test is required. Lastly, how much is paid. Before acceptance letter is given |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by malkinburg: 12:25pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
@sawyersam Ur gonna have to do the search for Urslf. There are lots of schools ur going to have to closely examine. But if ur intentions are to migrate after studies you should make sure the course is in line with skill shortages in Australia. Also I believe choosing a school in a regional area will also pay ur government in the long run. No standardized test. Just ielts |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 12:37pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
@malkinburg. Thanks very much. After admission, what is usually required before acceptance letter is given. |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by malkinburg: 6:57pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
sawyersam: Generally the admission letter comes with an acceptance letter which u have to sign and return to the school. But in most cases when you accept your offer, you have to pay a tuition deposit and also pay for health insurance cover specified on ur offer for the duration of the program. Afterwards, a certificate of enrollment is then issued. With this COE you can now apply for ur student visa. If your looking for TAFE/PGD i advice u seek a packaged course that has a degree or masters pathway so u cud get SVP status ie "Streamlined visa procesing" so ur visa wouldn't be much of a hassle. U need 2 do research tho. Cheers |

malkinburg: The experience is worth it. KLIA is a beautiful airport...far better than Goldcoast and Brisbane airport. My flight to Ethiopia from Lagos was delayed by 1hr. Though it didn't affect my next flight to KLIA; it only reduced my waiting time at the airport from 3hrs to 2hrs. Upon arrival at KLIA, I went straight to the immigration office and gave them my passport, the man requested for my connecting flight ticket to Australia and my Australia visa which I showed him before he cleared me. I went straight to KLIA2 from there to check in with Airasia. I checked in at Airasia with no hassle. Airasia service was ok, only that everyone's ticket comes with the meal he/she chose when booking the flight. There were people who were not served because they didn't include it on their ticket. I left Nigeria 2:05pm Thursday and got to Australia 7:25am Saturday; no delay at the end 4 Likes |

Airasia is a lowcost airline. You can travel as cheap as $10 from Malaysia or Singapore to thialand, Laos, china, Vietnam, Cambodia as long as you book early during the promotion time. That doesn't include food, head kits,blanket, luggage and use of toilet in the future. Customer service is good and they hardly have delays unlike Tiger air(although I haven't personally experienced any delay traveling with Tiger) The only rigor with Airasia is travelling from klia to klia2 terminal which doesn't apply when you travel with Tiger air. Make sure you have you yellow fever card while traveling out of 9ja or any third world nation. Each vaccine card last for 9 years. If you looking at getting from MIA Lagos on the day you'r traveling out endeavor to get there 7-9hrs before your flight to avoid delay. Zenkel: 1 Like |

Thanks Bossladymo ----- my time line is below: IELTS - 8,8,8,8.5 - August 2013 Engineers Australia positive assessment - November 2013 Medicals/PCC - November 2013 Visa Lodged - December 2013 CO Assigned - Jan 2014 Health Undertaking for wife - March 2014 Routine checks - very very very long.....I sent mails every month but was always told to wait Medical request for wife again - August 2014 Grant - today ![]() The most difficult part of this process is the waiting - it can lead to high BP but my advise is to channel your focus/energy in to other activities. I thought we were home and dry when my wife's undertaking was submitted but it seemed that was when the routine checks were initiated. Anyway, I have more than a million things to say about the process from my non-stop checking of expatforum/australiaforum/pomsinoz/nairaland/migration alliance/immiaccount to get updates to calling/sending emails to DIBP ![]() Best of luck and Godspeed to others in the process - I pray your routine checks are short and sharp ! |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 1:06pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
spiggy: Wow! What a long wait. Well it's better than Pakistanis and Bangladeshis that have to wait 12-18months after CO allocation. I wonder what parameters theu use to determine which and which application goes to security checks ..cos even a few Pakistanis get their visas in 4mths. Oh well, it's enjoyment for you now...the wait is over! I just hope I'm not placed on security checks sha....what harm can a wife, husband and 2 kids do hehehehe! Congrats once again... |
Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by prechear(m): 1:12pm On Oct 07, 2014 |

Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by spiggy: 1:17pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
@bossladyMo You can say that again....it was a really long wait....thank God it's over. Generally, I have noticed the Subclass 190 guys do not go through lengthy security checks but they take their sweet time with subclass 189 - which I applied for by the way. I believe the 489 subclass should be similar to the 190 so fear not. Then the naija factor again is a cause for concern, I suspect they check our applications thoroughly for fraudulent claims etc - also all our medicals get referred by default. |

Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 1:44pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
spiggy: Yea...489 and 190 are on priority 3, while 189 is on priority 4...so like you said, your case might have not been forwarded to security checks on time. But ot's worth it though, cos 189 is the king of all visas lol. You won't believe there are more fraudulent applications from India and those Asian countries, compared to Naija...don't know why Nigeria is the one they focus on. So far, I don't have a CO...so maybe that's a good sign...cos ive seen 2 Pakistanis who applied in Aug and have gotten a CO already...majorly cos they have to be forwarded for security checks. Did you claim work experience points? That one also lengthens the overall application process. Also, were you under Adelaide? |

Haustraliah:my candid advise is, dont seek asylum dude because if it fails you are doom. Try to enter via tafe and you can save up for the course, which can grant you a PR. you cant switch to student visa from conference. All the best 1 Like |
