My friend asked me how to apply for a tourist visa for Australia? So I asked the google the same question...the answer is similar to the Schengen Visa...

1. The application (Nowadays ETA is a handy way for applicants, but we are now in the UK, therefore, we can't apply it (Holders of Taiwan passports can only be processed for an ETA if resident in and applying in Taiwan).)

2. Passoprt

3. School letter

4. Bank Statement for more than 2 months (Some people suggested that the bank savings should be at least £1,000)

5. Insurance

6. Invitation letter (to tell the visa center when you will arrive, when to leace and where you will live in)

7. one photo

8. fee (£28 for 3 months, £95 for 6 months and £110 for 12 months)
