From real experience
For Australian visa 600 applications: 1. Passport scans: Submit copies of the current passport and any previous passports containing visas. You do not need to scan every blank page; focus on pages with identity info and travel stamps. 2. Unused visas: It is recommended to include copies of visas even if they weren't used for entry, as they demonstrate travel history. 3. Group applications: When applying for family, create a group in the ImmiAccount and list family members as accompanying travelers.
Internal passports and cover letters are generally not required documents for Australian visa applications unless specifically requested. Regarding the passport, if Condition 8501 (requiring health insurance) is not stipulated in your visa grant, travel insurance is optional. Russian entry/exit stamps typically do not require translation as they are standard and understandable.
Previous immigration and travel history is considered in Australian visa applications. However, the weight given to this factor can vary, and outcomes are not always predictable. While extensive travel history can be beneficial, its absence does not guarantee refusal, and strong travel records do not ensure approval. Applicants should provide all required documentation and may consider a cover letter to explain their intentions.
Australian visa application requirements: All documents (2-NDFL, bank statements, ownership papers, birth/marriage certificates) must be translated into English. Electronic signatures on bank statements and tax documents are accepted. For business owners/sole traders (IP) in the visa form, if a 'supervisor' contact is required, the applicant can use their own contact information or a deputy's details.
For an Australian visa application: Bank statements can be electronic versions from online banking and do not require a bank stamp. The statement must be itemised and cover a 3-month period, showing detailed transactions, not just a summary of balances, deposits, and withdrawals. A summarized statement (e.g., 'summary' from Alpha-Bank) is insufficient. An employment certificate is required, and a 2-NDFL (Russian income statement) is generally not needed. The employment certificate should be comprehensive and ideally include the company logo.
