I know that this is country specific and have posted this topic on ‘Australian and New Zealand Cruisers’ forum, too, but thought maybe some Royal cruisers might have experience with this and could provide guidance. We have an Australia/New Zealand cruise in January 2023 and are getting ready to fill out applications for both electronic visas. I was under the impression that they were very simple to do and could be granted within minutes. However, after reading some posts here, I am already in a panic about getting mine. It appears women are getting caught up on the Australian application due to inputting their maiden names and their married names and it is causing considerable delays. I am one more into it. I was widowed and have been remarried for 13 years. So now I have a maiden name, the name I used in my first marriage, and my current name. My passport reflects my current name. Is there anything I should gather in advance of completing the app or a specific way to fill out the information? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated from anyone who has experience with this. Thank you

Thank you. That would certainly be simplest, but I was under the impression that you needed to list all the names that you have previously been known by.

And it’s subclass 601 that is the correct form for visitors on cruises?

We have a car at the airport reserved for a 10:30 am pickup. We will be arriving in Hilo at 9:30. Will this give us enough time to get to the airport? I don’t want them to give our car away. 😬
