Australian Visa with RTD

[Osama10abdo]

I am in Canada holding a Canadian Refugee Travel Document (RTD).

I tried applying online for an Australian Visitor Visa (subclass 600), but the system won’t let me proceed

Has anyone here applied before with the same situation? How did you manage to complete the application?

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Contact Australian immigration and ask if RTD is accepted.

Yes, I already contacted Australian immigration and they confirmed that the Canadian Refugee Travel Document is accepted. My issue is not about acceptance — it’s that the online system won’t let me proceed because the country of document issue (Canada) and my nationality are different. That’s why I’m looking for someone who has successfully applied in the same situation to share how they did it.

But if you are applying online for an Australian visa then ask them how to deal with the discrepancy in document issues and nationality.

I asked them, and they said I need to chat with the online help centre, which is not helping me at all.
