What about applying for Australian travel VISA ONLINE in Papua New Guinea
Travelling the globe is so much easier nowadays. The manual
process which involves the applicant filling up the blanks on the visa
application form and attaching a ridicules number of support documents has seen
its last days, at least in most parts of the world, that is. It is so much
easier to travel the globe, country to county, continent to continent
without holdups, delays or unnecessary
questions whilst processing a visa.
Thanks largely to people like Leonard Kleinrock (1961)and J.C.R.
Licklider(1962) who conceptualized ideas that
inevitably led to the invention of internet and the technology now available
where you can access the internet anywhere, anytime and just about do anything.
Such people committed a large part of their lives in the name of making our
lives so easy in some sense. The society that we live in has gone quite complex
(in an electronic sense) but yet so easy for the everyday human to exist in
comfort and soothe .
Life
must not be hard. Life must not be hard, at least for a Papua New Guinean
trying to apply for a visa to travel to
Australia today or anywhere else on the green planet. One can understand the application
review and all the paper work that is required once an application is launched.
One can also understand the process
someone doubtlessly goes through scrutinizing the application to make a
decision to either approve or disapprove. Wouldn’t this be easier if an online
visa application system is now in place? Examples; The Japanese people jump online to apply for visa
to gain entry to Australia, the UK citizens get online to apply for visa to
gain entry to Papua New Guinea .
Wake up Australian High Commission (AHC)! Everywhere
else is changing except you guys. Papua New Guineans are accessing internet via
their mobile phones checking their bank balances, shopping online and off
course, reading what’s happening in the outside world. By now one can only
imagine that at the AHC, there should be some kind of a database to make life
easier and at least make the entire process user friendly, if not quick.
Besides, all the personal information that is provided when someone manually
fills in a visa application form for the first time should be sufficient enough
to generate a database and when the same person applies again for a visa in the
future, there shouldn’t be any delays because it’s the same person and the
personal information supplied earlier should exactly be the same, period.
Unless seeking criminal records, a clearance report from the police department should
easily be sourced by the applicant. Human beings do not evolve into other forms of
primates in weeks, months or years, they don’t. It is the same person who
applied in the past and it’s the same person applying now so with the
ubiquitous sanity of common sense, why in the world would the same person go
through the painstaking process of supplying the same personal information over
and over again? This is absolute baloney.
We
are sick and tired of manually launching applications every time a visa is
required to travel to Australia. If this was not enough, every time a new
application is launched, there seems to
be some fault with the application or some document are missing or extra
documents are required. It is a call for the Australia High Commission in Papua
New Guinea to seriously start reviewing its visa application processes or
policies and preferably consider an online visa application service like the
rest of the world.
With
the availability of internet just about anywhere (mobile access and net cafes),
Papua New Guineans today are enjoying the ease of accessing online services. Considering
how long internet as been around the country, an online visa application
service by the AHC is long overdue. It is about time you (AHC) seriously act
upon the current Land Down Under’s progressing
into the future motto “Going Forward” and please make our lives a little easier.
