Baggage preparation skills for studying in Australia

Do students applying for studying in Australia know how to prepare their carry-on luggage? In fact, there are some skills in luggage preparation. I'll talk to you next, hoping to help you.

Baggage preparation skills.

1. Baggage should not be overweight.

First of all, international students can take carry-on luggage weighing no more than 7 kilograms, which can be a small box or a backpack. Some articles and certificates have been carried with you, such as passports, boarding passes, printed electronic visas, medical records, Offer and COE. Without ID cards, they are useless in Australia. If students are involved in transferring credits, they need to bring a course description or a course outline. Computers, iPad, mobile phones, etc. You should carry it with you, and don't check the charging treasure. You should also take a pen with you. Because you have to fill in the immigration card, you should bring a pen to get ready. Put your carry-on bag where you can see it with the naked eye, or under your seat, or on the overhead rack diagonally opposite.

Second, it is recommended to take a plane with loose clothes.

My personal experience is that it takes about 10 hour to fly directly from Beishangguang to Australia or transfer from Hong Kong. For students who haven't flown long distances, 10 hour is quite painful. My personal advice is to try to wear loose clothes instead of jeans. If you are careful, you can bring your own slippers and pajamas, and you can have an extra blanket under your feet. If you can choose a seat.

Third, the weather is contrary to our country, so it is recommended to take more clothes in spring and autumn.

As a country in the southern hemisphere, the seasons in Australia are opposite to those in China. June is winter and 65438+ February is summer. If you go to the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne on the southeast coast, it is still very comfortable all year round. You can bring clothes in spring and autumn, just a thin down jacket. Others need to bring patch panels or conversion plugs (there are no parallel plugs in Australia). You can prepare some small gifts for your host family or new friends to enhance friendship. You can carry some commonly used drugs appropriately. For details, please refer to the Australian entry card and the list of items to be declared to ensure that you are not carrying contraband.

4. Prepare some cash and medicines.

Another thing to note is that for international students who are traveling for the first time, parents are often afraid that students will suffer hardships and will prepare more money for students to carry with them. The Australian government has no restrictions on how much cash you can bring into Australia, but when you bring with you a value equal to or more than 65,438+00,000 Australian dollars or foreign currency, you need to declare it to the customs when you enter the country. Drugs: When carrying steroids, opioid analgesics, narcotic drugs and other drugs that may cause drug dependence and abuse, it is necessary to declare to the customs when entering the country.

I. Cash

Be sure to bring some cash. After all, you must have something useful (such as calling a taxi) before you apply for a bank card. ).

As for the appropriate amount to bring, the Australian Immigration Bureau stipulates that all immigrants who exceed 10000 US dollars must carry cash or equivalent foreign currency in declare in advance, so try to keep it within 10000 US dollars.

Second, important documents

1) air ticket;

2) Passport and visa notarized documents and photocopies also need to be prepared, so there is no need to bring a domestic ID card;

3) For the printed quotation and various documents required by the school, the customs sometimes randomly checks the quotation;

4) Various Australian recognition documents. For example, a domestic driver's license can be used directly after translation;

5) All kinds of transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates and translated notarized versions;

Third, change the plug.

The voltage in Australia, like that in China, is about 220 volts, but the plugs are all three-hole plugs without two holes. If you have an appliance with two plugs (such as a mobile phone charger), buy a conversion plug in advance.

Fourth, drugs.

Buying prescription drugs in Australia is troublesome and expensive. Therefore, it is important to bring some homemade basic drugs. Especially amoxicillin, cephalosporin, erythromycin and other anti-inflammatory drugs, cold drugs, antidiarrheal drugs!
