Step 2: Apply for the card at an outlet.

First open Google Maps, look for the nearest Commonwealth branch (pay attention to the business hours), then select the business hours of the branch, bring the prepared materials, and go to the branch to prepare for the card~

For example, after entering a bank, a staff member will ask you what help you need. You need to mobilize your English to explain that you are a new international student and need to apply for a card.

In fact, this is also a good opportunity to practice speaking and listening. It is recommended that friends can communicate boldly. For students who really feel that they don’t understand the language and are not good at communicating, don’t worry. There are several Chinese staff in almost every branch, and hundreds of international students from China are received every day during the first semester, so there is no need to worry or be shy.

Step 3: Open the card

The staff will give you a form to fill in, which contains some basic information: name, email, address, phone number, etc. (If you haven’t applied for a local phone card yet, domestic phone numbers can also be used here, mainly for receiving verification codes.

6. What materials are needed to apply for a credit card when traveling to Australia

Generally speaking, it is best to open a bank account within 6 weeks after arrival, because usually you only need passport as proof of identity. After 6 weeks, you will need additional proof of identity to open an account. If you don't open an account it will be difficult if you don't have enough documentation. Tell the bank your tax file number to avoid higher interest rates. Use credit cards as much as possible in Australia: Australians rarely use large amounts of cash, debit cards, credit cards and personal cheques. Banks in Australia and the United States are networked across the country, and you can open accounts, deposit, withdraw money, remittances, etc. Any institution in any city. Before going to Australia, you can also open an account at an Australian bank branch in China, so that you can remit money first and then use it in Australia. When opening an account, the bank must bring your identity documents (passport, driver's license, credit card, medical insurance card, other bank cards, etc.). The bank will give you a score based on different documents. Only those with a score of 100 or above can open an account. But for new students and immigrants, you can open an account with your passport within a certain period. Of course, if you have other documents, including a birth certificate, you can also bring them. In Australia, all banks have student accounts, and the management fees of student account banks are very favorable. The reception staff at the bank will be very enthusiastic to help you handle it. Many banks in urban areas have staff who can speak Chinese. If you have any specific questions, you can ask them directly. If you bring more than 10,000 Australian dollars at a time, it is recommended to open two accounts. One is to set aside 5,000-6,000 Australian dollars as a savings account, and the other is to save the remaining money as a six-month term deposit, which can help you control expenses and earn a certain amount of interest when you withdraw money. The hard card given to you by the bank can be used to withdraw money at an ATM at any time. You can also ask the bank to open online banking at the same time, so that you can pay directly online (you can pay by phone, etc.), which is very convenient. Here are some tips compiled by experts: Don’t entrust or lend your ID card to other students to open accounts. The bank card password must not be written down in your communication book, and placed in the same bag as the bank card. Don't let anyone know your bank card password. Try to avoid using online banking in public Internet cafes or the like. If you accidentally lose your bank card, you should contact the bank and call the 24-hour phone number as soon as possible to stop your card. Do not wait until the next day to queue up at the bank to report the loss.

However, due to the large amounts of pollen in the air from time to time in spring, it is not recommended for people with allergies to go during this time. March and April are autumn months in Australia. At this time, the temperature in Australia is generally 10-15 degrees in the morning and evening, and 25-30 degrees at noon. The humidity is moderate, making it ideal for traveling. 2. Things to note when purchasing Australian travel insurance are conditional or recommended. Risks during the trip are unknown. Additionally, travel insurance is very affordable. Buying one not only gives you peace of mind, but is also responsible for your family.

A simple blood test may cost more than 100 yuan, and a general outpatient visit takes less than 15 minutes and costs 70 yuan a time. Simple hospitalizations and minor surgeries. No insurance. A few days of budget travel may disappear once you have a headache. Besides, if you are going on a road trip, you must buy it. In Australia, you drive on the left and kangaroos run amok. If you rent a car by yourself, if the car is not covered by insurance, you need to purchase car insurance separately, and purchase it from the car rental company at the same time as booking the rental car.

9. What bank cards should you bring when traveling to Australia?

Let us talk about bank cards first:

Must-open cards

An Australian debit card is a must-have card. Studying abroad is no better than traveling. We are going to stay in Australia for a long time, so Australian cards are much more convenient and cheaper than domestic cards.

What kind of bank?

Australia has four major banks and a number of smaller banks.

National Australia Bank in Australia should be the largest bank in Australia and is affiliated with the University of Melbourne.

Tuition account and the like are also opened in this bank, so it is quite convenient and fast to pay tuition with this bank.

There is a NAB branch in the school, and it is very convenient to apply for a bank card there.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, has a history of more than 100 years and is considered to be

Hotels generally have branches and also provide Chinese services. And their APP for stir-fried chicken is really convenient.

Australia New Zealand Bank, Australia New Zealand Bank. It was changed to this due to the acquisition of the National Bank of New Zealand.

The name originated in Melbourne, so there are many branches in Melbourne.

Westpac Banking Corporation. This bank is the oldest bank in Australia, but I

I don’t think I have seen any branches of this bank yet, but as one of the four major banks in Australia, there is definitely nothing to say about the service.

Of course, there are other smaller banks, so I won't talk about them here. In order to attract customers, the interest rates would be higher than those of these banks, but they are not.

It's too convenient, so I don't recommend you do it. The above four banks are all available, just choose, but international students use them the most.

It's US Federal and ANZ, so I recommend you run these two companies. It is best to follow the crowd when applying for a bank card.

Okay, then it will be more convenient to transfer money and so on in the future.

Where can it be done?

Domestic processing

Australian bank cards are not only available in Australia, but can also be used in advance in China. It's okay in China, but when it comes to Australia.

Go directly to the bank with your passport or student ID card to get the card. You don’t have to wait in Australia. You can get it directly. If you do this in China,

you can remit living expenses to Australia in advance in China. Funds are frozen before you go to Australia, so you don't need it.

Don’t worry, activate your account in Australia and you can use all the funds in the account immediately, which is very convenient.

Processed in Australia

If you don't want to do it in China, you won't have any problem going to Australia. When you arrive in Australia, remember this as soon as possible.

Bring your passport to apply for a bank card, because it takes about a week from opening an account to applying for a bank card here.

Generally, there are places to put bank cards in schools and urban areas, so don’t worry about not finding a place.

It's better to get the bank card first. This cycle is slightly longer, so it is easier to get the business card first:

Australia has three major operators and other small operators:

Telstra

Keywords: the most expensive, the best signal, and the least used by international students.

Telstra is a state-owned and recognized operator with the best signal in Australia. Australia compared 7904 users

According to the usage data of the three major mobile phones in Australia, it turns out that the fastest telecommunications company in Australia is Telstra! But it's also good.

It means expensive! Its overall price is the most expensive.

Optus (Optus)

Keywords: many packages, many discounts, the best value for money, and many international students.

Vodafone (Vodafone)

Keywords: the cheapest overall price

A package customized for overseas people, with good international call quality and free online calls. Only messages are allowed, so China

International students use it more often, but the signal is poor in suburban areas, especially in mountainous areas.

Other operators

Keywords: cheap, unstable

10. What credit card should I apply for when studying in Australia?

International credit cards are of course for studying abroad. First choice. There are currently two types of international cards: one is universal, such as the U.S. dollar dual-currency credit cards of Bank of Communications, ICBC, and Bank of China.

Since the U.S. dollar can be used in almost all countries and regions, if you spend money in non-U.S. areas, you will be charged a 1-2 exchange fee, but the exchange rate settlement of international credit cards is based on the exchange rate of large-amount foreign exchange purchases by international credit card organizations. Therefore, it is still more cost-effective than the exchange rate used by individuals to purchase foreign exchange. The other is special application types, such as Bank of China Euro Card and Japanese Yen Card. The accounting currency and settlement currency are both Euro or Japanese Yen, which can be directly converted into RMB to reduce exchange rate losses caused by foreign exchange conversion. Things to note when using international credit cards: 1. Favorable exchange rates: To avoid this fee, it’s best to use a card in which currency you want to go to. At present, most international cards are US dollar cards, but it is more troublesome to go to Australia. There is no Australian dollar card in China. But there is a Euro card. Currently, Bank of China and Bank of Communications have Euro cards. In addition, Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China both have Hong Kong dollar cards. Therefore, if you want to study in the United States, you have the most choices. Basically all international credit cards from banks are acceptable; if you want to study in Europe, you can choose Europa Card; if you want to study in Japan, you can choose JCB Card. 2. Fees charged by international organizations: International cards are automatically converted into various currencies for consumption based on real-time exchange rates. This conversion is completed by the international card organizations VISA and MasterCard, and a handling fee of 1 for the consumption amount will be charged. 3. Annual fee: Credit cards require an annual fee. Although the annual fee is not very high, waiving the annual fee requires special approval. Of course, there are now bank regulations that waive annual fees for a certain number of times.

11. What are the requirements for applying for a tourist visa to Australia

This visa is available to passport holders living in many countries and territories outside Australia.

Two. eVisitor (subclass 651)

This is a free visa that allows multiple visits to Australia for tourism or business purposes within a 12-month period, for up to 3 months at a time. This visa is available to passport holders from many European countries and cannot be extended.

The Visitor visa is designed for those who are not eligible for an Electronic Visitor or Electronic Travel Authorization visa. This visa allows you to visit Australia for tourism or business purposes for three, six or 12 months. Applicants must pay a fee to submit an application.

Four. Student Visa (Subclass 500)
