Portal Technical Issues: how it works in Australia — first-hand

Short answer
Organize your Australian visa application by categorizing files, using clear filenames, and providing descriptions for each upload. Ignore portal UI quirks like the 'Attach documents' button notification after biometrics, as it does not affect processing, and prioritize relevant international travel history over domestic identification.

From real experience

For the Australian 600 visa, document organization is crucial for processing efficiency.
Recommend applicants to categorize files: 1) Passport bio page (main scan), 2) Travel history (stamped pages from the last 10 years), 3) Visas (separate file for all past significant visas). Empty pages are unnecessary. Consistency in document layout and clear filenames are advised for visa officer convenience. Do not include domestic identification cards (like internal Russian passports) unless specifically required.

The 'Attach documents' or 'Information provided' button might appear in the Australian visa application portal after biometrics submission, often accompanied by an exclamation mark.
Clicking it (it may then gray out) does not impact the processing time or approval chances of the visa application. This is a common UI quirk of the Australian Department of Home Affairs portal and does not indicate an issue with document processing. Some applicants choose to avoid checking the portal for this reason.

In the Australian visa application, the 'Other identity documents' section is for providing supplementary identification.
If you select 'Yes', be prepared to upload scans of documents such as a driver's license, national ID card, or birth certificate (if it includes a photo and key details). This helps to further verify your identity.

When uploading documents to the 'Attach documents' section of an Australian visa application, it is generally recommended to provide a 'Description' for each document.
This description should clearly state what the document is. For 'Attach documents', if there is a specific section for a photograph, use that. For property-related documents, they should be uploaded under 'Evidence of financial status'.

When applying for an Australian visa, a Russian internal passport is not required.
If you choose to submit it, ensure it is translated. For the 'Visa History' section, list all visas from both your current and previous passports. Additionally, ensure all documents are within the file size limits, splitting them if necessary.

For Australian visa applications, check if the reference number type can be changed within the application form, as there might be a dropdown menu for selection.
