Arrival

Immigration and Customs

Upon landing, proceed to immigration and customs. For help, ask airline staff or border officers. Your documents and visa will be checked. After clearance, collect your luggage for customs and quarantine. More details are on the Department of Home Affairs website.

 

Getting to Your New Home

Book your accommodation before arriving. Have your address in English for public transport, or directions for a cab. If your institution provides airport pickup, they will take you directly to your destination.
