Travel Australia - Indonesian Maid Visa?

[3Boys]

Hi folks,

is it possible to bring a Indon maid along to Australia for a vacation? What’s the paperwork like?

TIA!

Possible. You need to apply for a visa.


Try this http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/visitors.htm

Not sure if they allow online applications now. But when I applied for my helper in 2009, I used form 48R.

You will need to supply the standard passport, work permit, itinerary, booking confirmations and a letter stipulating the reason for having your domestic help travel with you.

1 trip to apply, and another trip to collect.

That happens when you have travel desk to do all your work travel arrangements.

I bring mine along on most trips, especially those self drive ones. We usually travel with the whole extended family and with her along, she helps with the cooking and laundry.
