Just had a quick reminder via a phone call from the Australian embassy in Bangkok about being very diligent with the paperwork you provide.

My girlfriend has applied for a tourist visa to come visit me in Aus, this will be her second visit. First visa was a breeze (thanks scumbag for advice) and I was reasonably meticulous, this time things were a little rushed for me and the phone call I just received was regarding my reference letter not being dated (idiot) and a dodgy photo that was batch stamped with the wrong date (fool).

I don't think it will affect the application, it was more a checks and balances call and everything was sorted easily.

This is stress I don't need though especially when it comes to the one thing I want more than anything in the world.

Just thought it is a good timely reminder for anyone going through the hoops and processes, take your time, check, check and recheck.

I know I will next time.

At least they called you rather than just rejecting it.

I have been in the same position myself so I kinda know what you are going through.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

It was 7 or 8 working days all up, with a day or so postage up country and my little cock up. That was for a tourist visa. Just swim straight in mate you'll be right   , all the best.
