Travel and Visa History in Australia: what actually matters to know

Short answer
Provide precise details about your current location, residency status, and full ten-year visa history including scanned copies. When planning your visit, specify approximate timeframes for travel and clarify your intended entry frequency based on your personal itinerary.

From real experience

In the Australian visa application form, the section 'Give details of why the applicant is at their current location, including the end date of their current visa' requires an explanation of your current residency and the expiry date of your current visa (if applicable).
For example, if applying from your home country, state 'Applying from home country' and provide your passport details or current visa expiry date if you are on a visa in another country.

When filling out the Australian visa application form, it is important to list all previous and current visas.
This includes visas from up to ten years ago and short-term visas. Submit scanned copies of all visas. If you have traveled to many countries, you can mention your love for travel in a cover letter. The goal is to provide a comprehensive visa history to the immigration officer.

When an Australian visa application asks 'Do you plan to visit Australia again?' and the exact dates are unknown, it is acceptable to state 'Yes' and provide an approximate timeframe, explaining that the specific dates will be determined by future vacation schedules (e.g., 'Yes, I plan to visit in February 2027, subject to my future vacation schedule').

For the Australian visa application, under 'Proposed period of stay', if you do not intend to enter Australia multiple times during your trip, answer 'No' to 'Does the applicant intend to enter Australia on more than one occasion?'.
Specify your planned duration of stay (up to 3 months) according to your itinerary.
