Update 29 Aug 2017: Nur, a reader on this blog post mentioned she walked-in to apply 9 pax’s visa. You may check her comment below.

Update 11 Aug 2017: A friend of mine has visited Perth this early July. She applied through the website I introduced here. No issue going in and coming out from Australia. Still the same answer, if you are worrying this is a scam, DO NOT apply!
Update 9 Jun 2017: These 2 years, I have received tons of comments and IMs, as well as email asking me is this a scam? My answer is still the same!!!! For me, this is NOT a scam!!!!! Again, I would like to highlight the following:1. This is NOT an advertorial post. I share my personal experience how I apply my visa to AUS.
2. Commentors who asked if this is a scam under this post have no update if they have issue even though I tried to follow-up. So, I can only assume they do not have issue.
3. No complaint/feedback at all from readers telling me, they couldn’t enter AUS after applying visa through the agent. The only feedback I have gotten is the application fee has increased from RM20 to RM25 now.
4. DO NOT apply, if you really worry and think this is a scam. As said, I didn’t face any issue to enter AUS, and no feedback saying they couldn’t enter AUS. So, if you do not trust it, DO NOT apply. Head to the Embassy and apply it is the safest way.If you encounter any problem to enter AUS because of the visa is not valid, please please please let me know so I can update here and avoid others to apply through the agent in future.
Update 21 Nov 2015: Received emails, IMs and comments, possibly you are also worried if this company is valid. FYI, I went in Perth on 14 Nov and return to KL on 20 Nov. No issue happened. So, go ahead reading the guide below on applying Australia Visa with only RM20! If you still need helps, do not hesitate to shot me a message!
Despite of weak currency, we still love travelling. I have booked tickets to Perth, Australia which will be in the coming November. In this post, I am going to show you how to apply Australia Visa at home. Guess what? It is onlyRM20 RM25!

It is not the first time I will be travelling to Australia; however, the first time to settle visa myself. I have been asking around on how my friends apply. One of them applied via walk-in. Another one applied via online. Googled it and found iAdventure Escape Travel. I was shocked that it is only RM20/person! Remember my parents paid RM50 last time and I checked the embassy website saying to have AUD150. It is unbelievable cheap! I admit I thought it was a scam; so checked their review and also WhatsApp for inquiry. Finally, I decided to take it. Below are steps to apply Australia Visa at home.
Step 1: Go to https://www.australiavisa.my
Step 2: Click “Menu” and click “Online Application”
Step 3: Fill in your details. Make sure all are correct before submitting. Click “Submit ETA” at bottom. **Date format is DD-MM-YYYY
Step 4: After submitting, the website will direct you to “Payment Details”. You can choose to bank transfer/pay via paypal/pay via credit card. Pay with your preferred method. You must send your payment details to the agency’s email at eta@iae.my.
Step 5: Wait for your visa approval. I received mine within half day. Meanwhile, my parents’ received within an hour upon payment!
Hope this simple guide help the miserable one. I have compared few agencies, iAdventure Escape Travel is the cheapest! Their response was fast too when I asked them questions. If you are going to Australia or you know one who is going to Australia, don’t forget to share them the awesome news of applying Australia Visa in such a cheap price.

Let me know when they let you into Australia…
I don't really get your question. The visa starts from the date you got your visa approved. And will be ending one year later. However, you are only allowed to stay for 3 months per visit. Let me know if this is not what you want to know. =)
is really easy when apply online as waiting time is a hassle if when to the office. Waiting to renew and apply passport already take 3 hrs for me… If can apply online of cause I will prefer online as it fast and cheap. thanks for sharing
Oooh, I didn't know the application of visa can be so expensive!
How can this be when the Aussie Embassy says to have AUD150? Is the RM20 their agent fee?

nowadays it is really easy to apply anything online eh, i have also tried this applying visa online and it is so simple to do.
on 1st nov i enter and applied my eta visa from http://www.australiavisa.my for rm20. all went fine and clear 🙂 Thanks Sin Yee for the wondeful blog about it 🙂
Glad that this blog is so helpful for you, Nur Marican. And thanks for the compliment. Hope to hear from you soon in blog~ <3
Do let us know after your trip from Australia, because there are scam everywhere. Just put up my concern. It will be good to gain the confident from you after the trip. As I found out the approved ETA cannot be check on line.
Hi Sin Yee, thanks for the post. May I know if you've gone to Australia yet and did the ETA work? I'm looking for evidence of a real/credible person actually being able to enter Australia with the ETA from iAdventure before I apply.
Hello, thanks for dropping by! It is valid. No worries~ I passed through the immigration smoothly this afternoon. So yeah, go ahead applying yours with them. 😉
Hi Laura, sorry for the late reply. Was in trip at Australia when you comment on this post. And I am back now. No issue at all~ Have updated it on this blog post too. 😉
Hi Sin Yee,
I also apply the ETA/Visa through the same agent, IADVENTURE ESCAPE PTE. LTD. Firstly, I m like is it a scam?
The price is so cheap and the response also very fast. Still waiting for my wife ETA, mine and my son already approved. I hope there will be smooth process to enter Sydney with this ETA. I went to Perth a few years ago and applied the visa tru Australian Immigration website and it is quite expensive compared to iadventure. To share with you, we will fly to Sydney on 4th Dec and on 5th we will fly to Queenstown New Zealand…..
Hi Sin Yee,
Good to get some assurance that the site is not a scam. Just applied and the cost now is RM26 (Ringgit getting weaker and weaker).
Hi Sin Yee! Your info saves my time and gives me confident to apply visa from these sites! Thank you so much!! 🙂
Hi Mr Lee May I know have you gone to Australia yet? any problem? We will be going to Melbourne in April'17, therefore I am looking for more evidence before applying with iAdventure Escape Travel
Hi Charles, did you too apply visa to Australia via iAdventure Escape Travel? Were there any complications upon entering Australia? Looking forward to your confirmation that this isn't a scam company! 🙂
Hi, I've just applied for the VISA and got it approved. However, when i try to check the validity via Australia Govt Website under "Check an ETA" (https://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ETAS3/etas) it shown "not application" for my ID…..
Anyone knows is it a scam or ???
Hi Cassmine, as mentioned in the post above, I have actually travelled in Australia without any issue. And for readers who applied and travelled also no complaint on. Perhaps, you can check again with the agency?
is this a scam ? I applied it also but can not confirm from Australia gov web on the Visa
hi Cassmine,
I face the same problem as you. i just applied it two week back and my travel is next week 28th May, till now still can not confirm has the visa get through!! so since you travel in March, do you face the problem? is this a scam ?
Hi Sin Yee, any of your reader facing any problem with the visa from entering AUS? I'd applied actually and this will my first family trip, so i do not want to have any mishap at airport. Appreciate your advice. 🙂
Hi, have you traveled to Australia with the visa already?
Hi Cindy, do you mind to update if you have any issue on going through the immigration?
Hi Yee Pee, to be honest, so far, I have not received any complain from reader telling that they get blocked when entering AUS. Even there are people commented under this post asking is this a scam, but when I seek for feedback from them, they have no reply at all.
In addition, this is NOT an advertorial post. I share my personal experience how I apply my visa to AUS, and also update on the very top place saying I have no issue entering AUS. So, no matter how many times/people asking me if this is a scam, my answer is still the same. Unless, if there is someone confirm he/she was cheated by the agent, I will definitely state on the blog.
Hope this clear your doubt. 🙂
thanks for this post. have also applied through here, if I don't reply further means no problems. I'm travelling next month!
Hi Sin Yee, thanks for opening this blog. It really give me the courage to applied the Australia Visa through this page. I already received the visa confirmation. I am travelling this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed, and hope everything will be fine….
So any update? Is it a scam?
Hey Cassmine, just wondering whether you managed to get into and out of Australia okay? I'm thinking of applying through that travel agent too.
nice post
Hi, just curious, you have mentioned that one of your friend walk-in. May I know how much if walk-in?
Hi, the walk-in one I remembered was RM50/pax. However, it is 2 years ago. I am not sure if the price has changed. Hope this help.
Thank you.
Hi, walk-in to their office for ETA now RM 25 (done last week).
Thank you.
Thanks for clarification, Nur. Any recommendation that you can provide? As in which travel agent or company.
i went to this address. We were 9 pax.
IADVENTURE ESCAPE TOURS AND TRAVEL SDN. BHD.
Level-8.03, Menara TA One, 22, Jalan P. Ramlee,
50250 Kuala Lumpur.
http://www.australiavisa.my is their site.
Thanks Nur. This is also the agent I introduced on my blog. So for those who are still worrying to apply via their website, you may walk-in to their office.
Aside from http://www.australiavisa.my I found out that I can also apply a travel visa to Australia using this website https://www.traveleta.com.au/ Although the latter website is more expensive compared to the one you’ve highly recommend here in your blog. My problem is I am not residing in Malaysia that’s why I chose Travel ETA AU processing my ETA on my behalf. Anyhow, more power in your blog and I truly enjoyed my 3 day vacation there in your wonderful country. Nice and friendly people! Wish I can go back again.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the recommendation. It will help readers who are like you, not residing in MY to apply their visa in a more convenient way. 🙂
Is the Traveleta.com.au legit? I’m looking through their website and it does seem ok but I’ve read reviews on LonelyPlanet saying it’s a scam. It takes 3 days to process and it can’t check the visa validity and authenticity though.
I am one of those people who saw Sin Yee’s post and in thanks for her recommendation, I hereby vouch for her that the website is valid (though the interface has changed). My wife and I went to Perth on 12th Dec and came back on 19th. We applied through the website paying RM25/person via online banking and got our confirmation email within 24 hours. Printed the visa on paper for just in case, but in the end we did not need to show anything as everything was already inside their system. Just go through the info on the website and you’ll know what to do. Happy holidays-
Hi Lai,
Millions thanks for your update! I hope you enjoyed much at Perth. I will be going to Adelaide next year in May. Will definitely use this to apply again! =D
Hi, just wanna let u know that, i used the website https://www.australiavisa.my that u recommended in this page and travelled to Australia successfully in March 2018, thanks for sharing 🙂
I plan to go on 6th december, so what should I fill in the ‘intended date of travel’?
6 of December. You may apply in now or in November.
Hi Sin Yee, I just got back from holiday in Melbourne and applied my ETA using the website you recommended. No problem entering Melbourne. Thank you for sharing this info !
Thanks for your comment to show readers this is a legit website to apply ETA.
Hi Sin Yee, I just applied the ETA from the site you recommended. I found that the approved visa look slightly different with your sample. the top and bottom ETA approved was missing. May I know it was a valid ETA?
Hi Edison,
This post is written few years ago and the website layout has changed. You may refer to the update of this post and also latest comment from reader to justify if it is a valid website.
Hi Sin Yee, Do you know any other way to verify my ETA? i’m trying to applying from https://www.eta.homeaffairs.gov.au/ETAS3/etas a new ETA, after i fill up all the info and it lead me to payment page with no any pop up to tell me I already had a valid ETA.
I do not know where can I check and I never doubt the website when applying. If this is a invalid website, I would have taken this post down for so long time.
I just reached Sydney and applied the visa last month using the recommended link here. Entered without any problems. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Hi Sin Yee, so there is like two website that looks kinda same can I know which one did you use to apply for your visa? or is this two the same ?
https://www.australiavisa.org.my/
https://www.australiavisa.my/
I think i have shared my link. There are few websites but I was using: https://www.australiavisa.my/
When I used http://www.australiavisa.my, the fee is RM45. But When I used http://www.australiavisa.org.my, the fee is RM25.
So, they are different?
For your info, you have both links in your web page. That’s why the confusion, I guess.
Hi Mary,
I didn’t have 2 links for the visa application provided. The only one I have is https://www.australiavisa.my. If you are saying the other link on this post, that’s not a visa application’s link, instead, it is a link for visa verification.
I applied on https://www.australiavisa.my last year and it is RM25. It might be the fare has increased.
Hope this help.
The website http://www.australianvisa.com.my offers the Australian visa at RM20. Has anyone had successful application through this? Thanks.
I want to know about this website too.
Hi Aristen,
FYI, I received email from https://www.australianvisa.com.my few weeks ago. They requested me to feature their service. So, I can confirm that they are different from https://www.australiavisa.my . However, I have not tried their service before and do not know how their process work. Hope this help to clarify your doubt.
**I do not have any responsibility on any issue on visa application service.
Just to share my experience of applying ETA through https://www.australia-visa.com.my/
I applied ETA via the link mentioned above on 14 February 2019 for my Melbourne trip in April 2019. The ETA is valid. I have no problem entering Melbourne with the ETA.
Thanks Fion for sharing! Your comment helps other readers much 🙂
