Australia finally opened its borders last month. Despite this, many friends are still excited because the vaccines they have received do not meet the requirements of the Australian TGA.
Especially for elderly parents, their children go to school in Australia, but due to the epidemic in the first two years, Australia has implemented a policy of closing the border, and it has been a long time before they can only contact their children through video.
It is hard to look forward to the opening of the border in Australia, but due to the restrictions on the recognition of domestic vaccines by the Australian TGA, domestic parents over the age of 60 can only meet the requirements by taking two shots of Kexing's vaccine.
Mr. Chen, 64, has encountered this problem.
Mr. Chen's son is studying in Australia, and the family has not been reunited for a long time since Australia closed the border in 2020. In December last year, Australia partially opened its borders, but since Mr. Chen's son is not an Australian citizen or PR, Mr Chen is not within the range of people who can enter.
At the same time, Mr. Chen has completed three doses of vaccination in China, all of which are vaccinated with Sinopharm.
The family finally looked forward to australia's full opening of the border last month, but found that Mr. Chen's vaccination did not meet the requirements for Entry to Australia. When he was worried, the house leaked and it rained, and Mr. Chen's son suddenly fell ill in Australia and was once admitted to the ICU.
Mr. Chen, who was in a hurry, found us with the mentality of trying it out. After understanding Mr. Chen's background as a whole, the Australian immigration lawyer decided to expedite to help Mr. Chen apply for exemption from entry.
In the shortest possible time, the collection of materials for exemption from entry was completed, and a detailed statement was written in response to Mr. Chen's situation, describing the reasons why Mr. Chen needed to be exempted from entry.
Four working days later, I successfully received an email notification from the Australian Home Office, and the exemption was approved!!! Needless to say, Mr. Chen's excitement is self-explanatory.
If you are also like Mr Chan, who is restricted from entering Australia due to substandard vaccinations, but there are clear reasons, you may wish to try to apply for an entry waiver or seek help from a professional.
Finally, I wish Mr. Chen a smooth arrival in Australia to reunite with his son.
