Recently, New South Wales and Victoria have announced that from November 1, qualifying Australian citizens, permanent residents, Australian citizens and immediate relatives of permanent residents, as well as other people holding valid visas and travel restrictions exemptions (including those holding business innovation and investment (Category 188) visas) will enter from Sydney or Melbourne without quarantine. The details are as follows:
is vaccinated with TGA approved or approved vaccines at least 7 days before arriving in Australia, such as Pfizer , AstraZeneca , Janssen-Cilag, Moderna, Sinovac Coronavac (Science and Technology) or Covishield. Children under the age of 12 and children who cannot receive the vaccine due to their health are not subject to this requirement.
presents a valid vaccination certificate in English, i.e., the International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate (ICVC) issued by the Australian Government or a paper or digital vaccination certificate issued by a national or state/provincial authority or an approved vaccination provider. As soon as the news came out, for the Chinese who were about to enter Australia, they were half happy and half sad.
What I like is that for those who have received the vaccine that meets the requirements, they finally don’t need to isolate them, and the air tickets are cheaper, so I can buy them casually.
What is worrying is that for those who have not been vaccinated or have been vaccinated with the TGA, the air tickets that had been purchased several months in advance may not be able to travel even if they want to isolate for 14 days, and the planning made in advance has been disrupted.
Most of the vaccines from Sinovac and Sinopharm in China are generally accepted by Sinovac and Sinopharm. Now TGA has recognized Sinovac and Sinopharm, but it has not yet recognized Sinopharm, and it is necessary to complete two consecutive shots of vaccines. Many friends have one shot of Sinovac and Sinopharm or Sinopharm do not meet the requirements for one shot of Sinovac or Sinopharm. In addition, there are friends who have mixed up before thinking about making up for it by replenishing Sinopharm with the third shot of Sinovac. However, according to the conclusions obtained by many people and airlines, they are currently only accepted for the vaccination model of Sinovac-Starting, Sinopharm, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinopharm-Starting, Sinoph
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the homework you have done before, pack your luggage, entry statement, nucleic acid test , what you also need to do is prepare a vaccination certificate, how to verify the vaccination certificate now, and what kind of vaccination certificate is needed, because it has not yet been November 1, and the first friend to eat crabs has not appeared yet. I can only give you a reference according to the notice from the official website of the airline.
Q: How does FEPO flight verify passenger vaccination certificate?
A: For passengers who have received the International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate (ICVC) issued by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the QR code on your ICVC will be scanned using the DFAT "Reader App" and your passenger details will be scanned through the application verification. For passengers vaccinated in other countries, your Australian Travel Statement (ATD) will require a legally binding proof that your vaccination certificate is authentic and that you have been fully vaccinated. Must be submitted 72 hours before departure. You are also required to provide a certificate of vaccination when checking in.
Through the above information, we can divide the vaccination types into two types:
. People who have received TGA-approved vaccines (such as Pfizer vaccine) in Australia need to generate the Australian version of the International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate (ICVC) in advance and use them before boarding. DFAT "Reader Application" scan verification, as shown in the figure below:
Most people with Medicare accounts (including 188A visa holders who have obtained Medicare temporary cards after submitting 888A) can easily get the above certificates. Some Medicare temporary cards holders may not be synchronized in time or incorrectly, and they need to call the service hotline 1800653809 to correct and synchronize the information before they can obtain it.
People who do not have a Medicare account (such as temporary visa holders in Australia, such as 188A visa), need to go to any Services Australia service center or call the Australian Immunization Registration Office: 1800 653 809 to obtain it.
. People who have received two doses of Sinovac vaccine in China can directly search for "International Version of Epidemic Prevention and Health Code" in the mini program, first obtain the vaccination certificate by certifying the identity certificate through their ID, and then bind their passport to generate an international certificate. The inoculation certificate after
was generated as follows:
was downloaded and printed and carried.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you go to your community health service center (a place where you can get the new crown vaccine ) to issue a stamped paper vaccination certificate, and bring it for reference together. You can issue it with the original ID card. The reference is as follows:
As for whether this vaccination voucher needs to be translated, it depends on everyone's convenience. NAATI translation only costs a few dozen yuan, but it is usually translated to the original and will not add your passport number, so this can only be used with backup, because you will not be able to issue this certificate after you leave the local area.
According to the airline's notice: For passengers vaccinated in other countries, your Australian Travel Statement (ATD) will require a legally binding proof that your vaccination certificate is authentic and that you have been fully vaccinated. Must be submitted 72 hours before departure. You are also required to provide a certificate of vaccination when checking in.
People who have received the Sinovac vaccine in China should need to supplement vaccination certificates when filling out the Australian travel statement. They must submit them 72 hours before the flight takes off, and then a paper certificate is required to be provided for inspection when checking in. (The Australian travel statement I filled out when I entered the country contains content about the vaccine, including the name of the vaccine and the vaccination time, but no certificate is required. The system may have been upgraded in the future and the relevant certificates need to be uploaded.)

. Friends who plan to enter the country in the near future and are willing to quarantine need to actively try to find flight tickets that can fly according to the arrangements of each airline.
Singapore Airlines:
Singapore Airlines has now issued an announcement that from November 1, 2021 to March 26, 2022, all flights to Melbourne and Sydney during this period are (FEPO) flights, and all passengers who do not meet the conditions for quarantine are unable to board the plane.
If you buy the above air tickets, you need to make plans early and refund the ticket as soon as possible (it seems that if you need to refund the ticket because the vaccine does not meet the requirements? Please consult the airline for details) or change the ticket.(If it is after January, you can wait and maybe you can try it. Is Sinopharm also recognized in January?)
Cathay Pacific :
Cathay Pacific :
According to the official notice released by Cathay Pacific Airways and some friends consulted with Cathay Pacific customer service hotline, passengers who meet the conditions for quarantine can purchase tickets and travel flexibly, while passengers who do not meet the vaccine conditions have limited the number of incoming passengers every day, need to contact customer service staff to confirm and purchase. Those who purchase by themselves may not be able to board the plane.
Some friends also consulted Cathay Pacific customer service and received a reply: Cathay Pacific currently has sufficient air tickets, and their airlines do not distinguish between FEOP flights. They share the same flight with unvaccinated people. However, people without quarantine will definitely be able to board the plane. Unvaccinated people have to look at the number of people entering Australia on the same day. If the quota is not enough, they cannot board the plane. ( Cathay Pacific gives people who do not meet the vaccine requirements a little hope, but the specific operation answer is a bit confusing. Combined with the notice of SIA, I think Cathay Pacific will select some passengers who do not meet the vaccine requirements to board the plane based on the vaccination situation declared by everyone 72 hours before departure, combined with the restrictions on the number of entry, and other extra passengers will notify refunds. )
Cathay Pacific Airways can try it out, just as there is a quota to fly? Anyway, the airline has cancelled the refund fee for the tickets due to the failure to meet the vaccine requirements. For details, please consult Cathay Pacific.
Scool : has not yet obtained the latest information.
Other domestic airlines: Because some cheap tickets have emerged today, such as from November, every Thursday, China Southern Airlines, Guangzhou-Seoul-Sydney, the ticket price is about 15,000. A friend consulted today, and the customer service said that there is no specific policy notice yet.
According to the feedback from various airlines, the next November entry of passengers through Sydney and Melbourne should be that there should be no entry quota restrictions for passengers who meet the vaccine requirements, and passengers who do not meet the vaccine requirements and need to be quarantined still have entry quota restrictions. As for whether it will increase or decrease compared to the previous one, it is not known at present, but it is certain that a certain number of passengers who do not meet the vaccine requirements and still need to be quarantined every week.
. Friends who have received two doses of Sinopharm vaccine do not want to isolate them. You can wait a little longer. Maybe they will be recognized in 2 months. Maybe they will be recognized in half a year, and this is not clear for the time being.
3. Friends who have not received the vaccine yet, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the first shot of Sinovac. Now you can get the second shot in 21 days. You can buy a plane ticket to Australia in early December.
originally planned to wait for November 1, and my friends around me made the first person to eat crabs and then wrote this article, but I saw that there were too many people in the group asking about it every day and decided to write it in advance with the existing information, hoping it would help everyone. The content of this article is for reference only. Everyone decides how to choose it for yourself. There will be new and more accurate information in and other places on November 1st. Let’s share it with everyone, thank you.
