Step 1: Quarantine

If you are a direct tourist from Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, you can pass directly without quarantine.

Step 2: Immigration

Immigration officials mainly check passports, visas and entry registration cards and ask some simple questions, such as "What's the purpose of coming to Australia?" "How long do you plan to stay?" Wait a minute. If you don't know or know a little English but can't express yourself accurately, immigration inspection will generally arrange free translation services, so it's best not to answer questions like riddles to avoid misunderstanding. In recent years, illegal immigration cases have occurred frequently, and the immigration inspection in Australia has become more and more strict. When the inspector stamps your passport with the entry stamp, it means that everything is correct and you are approved to enter the country.

It should be specially reminded that according to the relevant regulations of Australia, the visa type held by foreigners when they enter the country must be consistent with the purpose of their visit to Australia. Otherwise, although you have a valid visa, the immigration officials still have the right to refuse you entry.

Step 3: Baggage claim

When you collect the checked baggage, you should check your luggage to avoid taking it by mistake. If you find that your luggage is damaged or fails to arrive on time, please contact the baggage office at the airport directly.

Step 4: Customs

Under normal circumstances, Australian customs officers often ask, "Anything to declare? Do you have anything to declare? ) ",if there is no item to declare, just answer:" No, sir/madam ". However, if you bring items that must be declared and fail to declare them, the punishment is very severe. All kinds of meat food (no matter what packaging), plant seeds, eggs, animals and plants, fireworks, weapons and ammunition and protected wild animals are strictly prohibited from being brought into Australia. In addition, all food, medical supplies and medicines (whether prescription or over-the-counter) must be declared, and if you have more than 11,111 Australian dollars (inclusive) or any foreign currency equivalent to 11,111 Australian dollars, you must declare.

local customs and regulations

Australia is a country that pays great attention to civilization. The Australian people are warm and hospitable, and honest and frank is generous, but some impolite words and deeds will be looked down or stopped. The local people's habits and points for attention are mainly as follows:

(1) Australians dress casually, and generally don't wear suits unless attending formal places. Therefore, as a tourist, it is also appropriate to give priority to light and casual clothes.

(2) China tourists like to talk and laugh loudly, but they should pay attention to the occasions in Australia. In public places such as airplanes, trains, buses, subways, cinemas or shopping malls, Australians generally like to talk quietly, and talking loudly will attract attention.

(3) Pay attention to queuing when buying things and doing things. Australians will consciously queue up on public occasions. Sometimes they don't queue up, but they also come first. When you go to a place, you should first pay attention to how many people are in front of you, and then you should wait patiently and consciously. When queuing in some places such as banks or ATMs, you should also pay attention to keeping a certain distance from the people in front.

(4) Don't spit, throw cigarette butts or throw rubbish everywhere. These behaviors can be reprimanded or fined in Australia.

(5) Don't expel small animals, let alone shoot birds. Australia has a unique natural environment, and all kinds of small animals and birds can be seen everywhere in the city. People here love small animals very much, and birds are protected by law.

(6) You must buy a ticket by train. Most of the stations in Australia have no ticket inspectors, but occasionally there are train inspectors. Once they are found to have evaded tickets, they will be fined several times the fare and recorded. If they commit another crime, their visas may be revoked, and they will never have the opportunity to come to Australia again.

(7) Australian aborigines are conservative and generally don't like tourists to take photos for them, so don't take pictures rashly to avoid misunderstanding. In addition, places marked with "No Photographing" signs must also abide by the regulations not to take pictures.

(8) China tourists think foreign children are cute and often want to take photos or touch them to tease them. If you want to take a photo with your child, you must get the parents' consent in advance, and remember not to touch the child's head or have physical contact with it at will, so as not to be mistaken for harassment.
