Hello everyone! My name is Nasir Nawaz and I'm registered migration agent in Australia.
Today's discussion is especially about international students
who are travelling to Australia, their student visas arrived
it is important for both who are coming for the first time or second time
or you can share with people you know travelling for the first time in Australia.
Recently, I was in overseas and I took an airline which was Batik or Malindo airline
they operate it combinedly
it had a transit which was in Indonesia
and its stay was in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur.
So, when I reached in Malaysia some international students met me
which were from Pakistan and India.
Pakistani students talked to me that we came here in Malaysia from Pakistan
and then we went to Indonesia we had transit there
Indonesia said that you might have transit here, you are not living here but you will need visa for this
they sent them back to Malaysia from Indonesia
which means they said go directly to Australia or arrange your visa
I have also seen this tickets are very expensive.
There are many popular airlines are giving expensive tickets
people find them really expensive
they cost $4,000 to 8,000 one way
so, it doesn't make sense that you buy this much expensive tickets until and unless
there is any emergency or you want to travel in that
I'm not discouraging it but it is your choice.
Now people are buying the ticket which is comparatively cheaper
it has two things
the first problem occur was that I told about transit that they send to Malaysia
they said arrange for your direct visit
so it is a big hassle specially when you are travelling you get tired
now the traveler is tired and he is sent back
and he don't know, there is uncertainty
airline was also not able to cooperate
like they should have, so it was one problem.
Secondly, many people's food was not pre ordered.
Many airlines include it in the ticket
but they do not include food in this airline.
For example, if you have not pre ordered you will not get the food.
You can't stay hungry in the long journey as the flights are too long.
There are two ways either you pre order the food to their ticketing agent
or if they are booking themselves then they must do it by themselves.
Secondly, you can also buy the food but it had another problem
you were able to pay from credit card not debit card
and I have experienced this too.
If you were paying cash, they were taking their own currency, AUD, or USD
only then you can buy the food if you have one of these currencies.
So that you can get safe from hassle.
The special message for people coming right now is that
take care of these things whatever airlines you are travelling in
in which country it will make a stay
if it is a transit or stay will I need a visa or not?
So, there are two ways, you will ask your ticketing agent that if I'm taking the long stay or transit will I need visa?
Make sure that you know these things in a satisfying manner
you must have knowledge.
Secondly, if someone else has experienced it you can ask from them
they can share their experience like I am sharing right now.
So, it is not necessary for some specific passports.
For example if there is a country that do not have agreement with Indonesia
so you have to take visa for transit if the transit is more than the specific hours.
Secondly, lets say if you have Australian passport then there is no issue
because they have some agreement and you won't need it during transit.
These are the things which are so important to know
when students come for the first time they face many challenges
they have many doubts in their minds as I have talked to many people while going and coming.
So they had many doubts in their minds.
To reduce your doubts and build your confidence you must have knowledge
that you will need a visa or not
what are you going to do, in which airline
how are the experiences?
So, it is very important to know and investigate
so that you can get safe from any kind of hassle
or if you know someone who is travelling
they can also get safe from the hassle
or share your knowledge with them.
