Just in case you guys, and gals, don't follow Australian Government News, here's what Immigration Minister Peter Dutton recently said:"I have an announcement to make in relation to the visa issuance, which I think is a significant announcement today, and it sends a very clear message to tourists coming from Indonesia to Australia that there is a new game in town and it's easier than ever to get a visa to come to Australia. Today, I announce that the Australian Government will introduce an option of a three year multiple entry visa for Indonesian visitors to Australia, starting in December of this year, so next month. That is an extension from the current one year period and it will allow people to come in for multiple visits for a maximum of three months at any one point in time.Secondly, I also announce today that the Government will expand the online visa lodgement to all Indonesian citizens by the 1st of January 2017, making the process for applying for an Australian visitor visa simpler for Indonesian tourists and business people."This helps me, hopefully some of you too.

That is good news hecta. Did they mention the cost of this new visa?My wife's friend sends her son to school in OZ and she visits him every mid-term, but it has cost and arm and a leg for her visas.Do you have a link for this news as I'd like to send her this info as I'm sure she's not aware of it. Meanwhile I'll search.edit: No need to link...I found lots of info on google search except the cost of this planned 3 year visa.
