What to take to Australia
Having received a visa to Australia, you can start collecting things. If you do not know what to take to Australia, consider the advice of tourists who have already been there..
The most important things
First of all, don't forget your documents. To enter Australia, you will need the following documents:
- passport with a visa;
- general Russian passport;
- copies of passports;
- tourist vouchers;
- medical insurance;
- invitations.
Copies of documents must be folded separately from the originals. You will need them in case of loss of basic documents. Arriving in Australia, tourists are entitled to a one-time free translation of documents in TIS (Translators and Interpreter Service). This country is distinguished by strict customs control and vigilant quarantine service. During customs clearance, the tourist is required to have documents and a special card of the arriving person. In this card you need to list medicines, plant seeds, weapons and other items that you carry with you. In case of hiding information by a tourist, he is subject to a fine of 20 AUD or more..
What money to take with you to Australia
All international bank cards are accepted in the country. For cashing money from VISA, VISA Premier and some others, 15% of the total amount is withdrawn. The problem of paying for goods with a plastic card may arise in small towns. So make sure you have some cash before you travel. You can bring funds into Australia in any currency. The maximum total amount is equivalent to 10,000 AUD.
Medicines for the first aid kit
Medicines imported by a tourist must be declared. Take with you only those medicines that are best tolerated by your body. Preparations with androgenic steroids and narcotic components must be provided with a special permit. You must have a prescription from your doctor for these drugs. In addition, you must have with you a doctor's opinion on your state of health and a list of drugs recommended by him. All these papers must be presented to the quarantine officer.
Clothes and other personal belongings of the tourist
Australians prefer to dress discreetly and comfortably. When choosing things, take into account the specifics of the country's climate, the travel period and the peculiarities of the rest. Both light and warm clothes will be useful to you. Ski equipment can be rented. A vacationer cannot do without a camera and electronic things (smartphone, tablet, navigator, etc.). Such things can be brought into the country without duty if their value does not exceed 900 AUD per person.
