Induction process.
1, entry
The first thing to do after getting off the plane is to enter the customs. Don't worry about finding it. Just go with the flow. Since last year, in addition to the manual window, you can also enter the customs through the self-service system.
First, artificial windows
Take your visa +CoE+ passport+entry card to the customs officer to verify some information. You may ask some questions, but you may not ask any questions at all.
Most people are simple, smiling is usually too much, but if you are asked questions, such as why you came to Australia, don't worry. How long are you going to stay? A simple question like that, just answer it truthfully.
Second, the self-service system
At present, all major airports in Australia have self-service customs clearance systems, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. As long as 16 or above, you can use self-service customs clearance with an e-passport. The main steps are as follows:
first step
Insert your passport into the customs clearance counter, confirm that you accept the privacy statement, answer a few questions, and if it meets the requirements, the machine will print out a SmartGate ticket.
Second step
According to the sign, walk in the direction of e-passport and you will see such an automatic door.
Third step
Insert the customs clearance receipt into the machine, take off the hat, glasses and scarf, look up at the camera in front, and then take a photo and compare it with the photo on the e-passport.
If successful, the gate will open automatically and the receipt will pop up again. Take the receipt and keep it safe. If it doesn't work, you can change the manual window.
If the customs clearance is successful, you can pick up your luggage.
Step 2 pick up your luggage
It's a few minutes' walk from where you enter the customs to pick up your luggage. Don't worry, follow the others. Everyone is in the same direction. You can also look for the baggage claim sign and follow it.
There will be many screens in the baggage claim area. Find the screen showing your flight airline and flight number, and pick up your luggage there. It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to get off the plane, so just wait.
It should be noted here that many friends like to take out their mobile phones and take a photo when their luggage is boring. Never do this here, because no matter the airport or the port, you are not allowed to take photos or videos, and even sending messages by mobile phone may cause misunderstanding.
Once found, if you are lucky, a staff member will come to advise you. If you are unlucky, you may be fined or even more serious consequences.
When you get your luggage, you can go through the customs. If your luggage is damaged or lost, remember to contact the airport baggage office. Sometimes you can wait patiently because the luggage may have just arrived on the conveyor belt. After all, there is too much luggage on the plane.
Step 3 go through customs
The previous ones are relatively easy, and customs clearance is the most important step for entering Australia. Because the customs here will check your belongings, including occasionally rummaging through your mobile phone to see if there are pornographic pictures and videos, which are also here.
Give the entry card you filled in on the plane together with the receipt of self-service customs clearance just now to the customs officer, who will check your entry card and arrange for you to pass through the corresponding channel according to whether you have any declared articles.
Generally speaking, if there are declared items, a red channel will be arranged. The red channel will ask you to open all the suitcases for inspection. Don't worry, the customs officers are very friendly. Just cooperate slowly.
If there are no declared items, a green channel will be arranged. The green channel will require all checked and carry-on luggage to pass through the scanning instrument, but sometimes it will be spot-checked and then go through the red channel.
You need to pay attention here, don't help others carry their luggage through the customs, you must be responsible for your own luggage!
Step 4 arrive smoothly
After going through the customs, all the formalities have been completed. Then you can go out of the airport and find your own pick-up. Generally, pick-up drivers will wait at the exit, and they will hold a sign with your name on it. If you don't pick up the plane, taxis and buses are very convenient and you can see them when you leave the airport.
In addition, all major airports in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia have free WiFi, and there is no need to verify the mobile phone number. As long as the mobile phone has electricity and WiFi function, it can be connected for free. It seems complicated, but in general, as long as you follow most people and keep smiling, it will pass unconsciously and there won't be so many things. The customs will ask you many questions and even check your mobile phone computer. These are small probability events.
