In Reply to: balinese boyfriend on tourist visa ??? posted by sugi on Thursday, 5. August 2010 at 18:03 Bali Time:
I have a friend going through this ATM. She went over to Jakarta to lodge the application with her BF. He has a past criminal conviction so has to get a penal clearance etc. If you go on the DFAT website it will tell you all the info you need. If its straightforward then the visa can take 2 wks, otherwise it can be a bit of a wait. They required references, show a bank balance and a date of intended arrival and departure to Australia. Good Luck!!
