Proof of Ties to Home Country: how it works in Australia — first-hand

From real experience

When applying for an Australian visa, funds from sanctioned Russian banks (like Sberbank) can often be used to demonstrate financial capacity.
However, these cards are unusable for payments within Australia or for the visa application fee itself. It is advisable to focus on showcasing sufficient funds and strong ties to your home country. For self-employed individuals, presenting bank statements is common. If not self-employed, consider providing a summary of account balances and a sponsorship letter with financial statements from a sponsor (e.g., a spouse). Supporting documentation for ties to home country can include property ownership, travel history, etc. The key is to assure immigration authorities of your intention to return.

For Australian tourist visa applications, consider including: property documents, employment verification (including leave dates and salary), a cover letter/travel plan, and vehicle ownership documents (if applicable).
These demonstrate ties to your home country. Avoid submitting: 2-NDFL tax forms, flight tickets, hotel bookings, or insurance unless specifically requested. Showing a strong financial position with savings and consistent income is beneficial.

For Australian visa applications, electronic stamps on financial documents (bank statements, property deeds) are generally acceptable.
You need to demonstrate financial stability and ties to your home country. Supporting documents can include employment certificates, marriage and birth certificates, property deeds, and, in the absence of these, pet photos can be used to show ties to your home country.
