Visa
How do I obtain a visa for Australia?
All travellers, except citizens of New Zealand, must obtain a visa or electronic travel authority (ETA) before travelling to Australia. To explore visa options please visit this government website, https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-finder
How do I get a letter of invitation?
- To receive an ASRH 2023 letter of invitation, delegates must first register for the conference, pay in full and submit any required supporting documentation. Delegates that require an official letter of invitation for the visa process can request one by emailing the conference secretariat at [email protected]. Delegates should begin the visa application process early, including requesting a letter of invitation.
- The ASRH 2023 letter of invitation does not guarantee an entry visa to Australia and does not place any financial obligations on ASHM. All expenses incurred in relation to conference participation are the sole responsibility of the delegate.
What if my visa application is unsuccessful?
As the Australian Department of Home Affairs has sole authority over the visa approval process, ASHM cannot provide further assistance if a visa is denied. There is no appeals process, but you do have the opportunity to apply for a new visa. If you choose this option, we strongly advise you to ensure that all the required documentation is included and completed. If any documents were missing in your previous application, please make sure to include them in your new application.
Additionally, we recommend that you address the arguments and reasons provided in the initial rejection decision. We also recommend that you provide a detailed explanation of how the ASRH conference will be beneficial for your professional development once you return to your home country.
