'Apply for your visas early and also read through everything properly before just blindly paying 190 dollars for a visa,' she advised
SINGAPORE: Anyone planning to travel abroad knows visa application processes can be stressful. A young Singaporean recently made her visa fiasco story public, claiming to have paid AUD 192 for a $20 visa.
“I just submitted the visa and I was like Okay, done. If that’s the price I have to pay, I’ll just pay it,” she shared. “And then I realised Oh my God, I didn’t attach any of my documents. I didn’t attach my passport picture, I didn’t attach my driver’s license. I didn’t attach anything. So I was like Hold up. My application–I didn’t put in my passport picture, they’re a hundred per cent going to reject it. So at this point, I was panicking. Because if they reject it, I still have to go apply again and it’s going to take another two more days to get approved. So I went on to the website to check.
“My God, this story has so many layers to it,” she added. “At this point I was just like Okay, let me just apply for another visa. So I texted all my friends who went to Australia recently. And I asked them, ‘Okay where did you apply your visa? How much did you play for your visa?’ And my friends were all like, “Um, we only paid 20 dollars. How come yours is 190 dollars?”
