Hello, a relative of mine has a convention travel document / titre de voyage issued by Australia (for refugees). The convention travel document lists their nationality as X country which they were born in.
They are wanting to go overseas for 3 weeks. In this case to Malaysia.
On the Malaysian consulate Melbourne website.
It states that to apply for a visa you need to show booked tickets, hotels, email it to them, then come into their consulate in Melbourne and have an appointment before getting your visa.
Now that seems a lot of up front expense/cost without the guarantee of a visa at the end of it.
However, as mentioned above, X country is as their nationality on their Australian conventional travel document.
Citizens of X country can enter malaysia Visa free.
I am wondering (already sent an email to the consulate but no reply).
If having X country listed as a nationality on their AUSTRALIAN convention travel document would be enough to get VISA free access to Malaysia. Probably too risky a move.
Best way to apply for a Malaysian Visa. As mentioned above, the visa application form requires you to have already booked the hotels, flights – with no guarantee of a visa at the end. I thought about checking refundable/no change fee flights but they are $1.7k. Hotels I should be able to find something with no cancellation fee easier.
- Wondering if I could book one of those $2k flights that allow cancellation, get the visa, then cancel and re-book a cheaper ($700) flight to actually travel on – or if that would be breaking some sort of rule / the visa shows the flight number
Thank you for any advice. Something that is normally so easy for me is much more complicated for my family member without an Australian Passport.
Does your relative have a country X passport?
