Hi Damo

I also think that something is 'not quite right'. Here in SA, etickets are totally acceptable and we are a 'high risk country'. But the eticket is never 'required' the itinerary is quite sufficient. You said a 12 month visitor visa was approved, but is this for stays of up to 3 months??? a visitor visa that allows someone to STAY for 12 months is most rare other than for parents who are going to have extended stays with children in Aus, and then full medical cover is required.

Something sounds a bit off if you ask me. Regards Mary
