Re: request for an Australian tourist visa for my parents
Visa applicants: Don Phan (passport number) and Senu Hakiwa (Passport number)

I am Feng Phan and am an Australian Citizen. I have been in Australia since 5 years ago. I’d like to invite my parents to Australia for them to spend the Chinese new year holidays with me here. They are looking forward visiting me during March- April 2018. As I am working full time here in Melbourne and we are in a very busy period I cannot leave work and therefore would love to have my parents with me for 6 weeks. They have enough money to support themselves while in Australia and I will provide them with accommodation.
