Studying abroad, going to Australia for the first time, what are the precautions, tourist attractions and necessary items?

If you are a direct tourist from Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, you can go through the customs without inspection.

Step 2: Immigration.

Immigration officials mainly check passports, visas and entry registration cards and ask simple questions, such as "What's the purpose of coming to Australia?" "How long are you going to stay?" Wait a minute. If you don't know or know a little English but can't express it accurately, the entry-exit inspection will generally arrange free translation service. It is best not to answer riddles and other questions to avoid misunderstanding. In recent years, illegal immigration cases have occurred frequently, and immigration inspection in Australia has become more and more strict. When the inspector stamps your passport with the entry stamp, it means that everything is correct and you are approved to enter the country.

It should be specially reminded that according to the relevant regulations of Australia, the visa type held by foreigners when entering the country must be consistent with their purpose of coming to Australia. Otherwise, although you have a valid visa, immigration officials still have the right to refuse you entry.

Step 3: Claim the luggage.

When you pick up your checked baggage, you should check your baggage to avoid taking it by mistake. If you find that your luggage is damaged or cannot arrive on time, please contact the baggage office at the airport directly.

Step 4: Customs clearance (customs)

Under normal circumstances, Australian customs officers often ask, "Is there anything to declare? Do you have anything to declare? ) ",if there is nothing to declare, just answer:" No, sir/madam ". However, if you bring something that must be declared and fail to declare it, the punishment is very severe. All kinds of meat food (no matter what packaging), plant seeds, eggs, animals and plants, fireworks, weapons and ammunition and protected wild animals are strictly prohibited from being brought into Australia. In addition, all food, medical supplies and medicines (both prescription and over-the-counter) must be declared. If you bring more than 65,438+00,000 Australian dollars (inclusive) or any foreign currency equivalent to 65,438+00,000 Australian dollars, you must declare it.

Local customs and regulations

Australia is a country that attaches great importance to civilization. Australian people are hospitable, honest and generous, but they will also give a dirty look or stop some impolite words and deeds. The local people's habits and places to pay attention to mainly include the following points:

(1) Australians dress casually and generally don't wear suits unless attending formal occasions. Therefore, as tourists, it is also appropriate to give priority to light and casual clothes.

(2) China tourists like talking and laughing loudly, but in Australia, we should pay attention to the occasion. In public places such as airplanes, trains, buses, subways, cinemas or shopping malls, Australians generally like to talk quietly, and talking loudly will attract attention.

(3) Pay attention to queuing when shopping. Australians will consciously queue up in public. Sometimes you come first without waiting in line. When you go to a place, you should first pay attention to how many people are in front, and then wait patiently and consciously. When queuing in some places such as banks or ATM machines, you should also pay attention to keeping a certain distance from the people in front.

(4) Do not spit, throw cigarette butts or litter. These acts can be reprimanded or fined in Australia.

(5) Do not expel small animals, let alone shoot birds. Australia has a unique natural environment, and various small animals and birds can be seen everywhere in the city. People here love small animals very much, and birds are protected by law.

You must buy a train ticket. There are no ticket inspectors in most stations in Australia, and occasionally there are train ticket inspectors. Once the evasion is found, a fine of several times the fare will be imposed and recorded. If they commit crimes again, their visas may be revoked and they will never have a chance to come to Australia again.

(7) Australian aborigines are conservative and generally don't like tourists taking pictures of them, so don't take pictures rashly to avoid misunderstanding. In addition, places marked with "No Photographing" signs must also abide by the no-photographing rule.

(8) China tourists think foreign children are cute and often want to take photos or touch them in Doby. If you want to take a photo with your child, you must get the consent of your parents in advance, and remember not to touch the child's head or have physical contact with it at will to avoid being mistaken for harassment.
