    Hi,
    Just a quick question, I know as part of getting the visa for AUS that you have to have 5000 AUD in your account. Have many people here been asked to show proof of this on entry into the country?

    The funds required for the J1 were 1000 EUR ( I had that ammount) but I was never checked on entering the country...

    Thanks for your help;)

    As far as I know, you just have to prove it (through bank statements) when you are applying for the visa, not when you actually enter the county

    Yes and no, there is no check online (unless there is a check-box), and if granted a WHV they don't check at airport either.

    I have however, heard one person being asked for this, and this was due to a conviction he had, he was asked to send over documents to the embassy before he was granted a visa, one of which was a copy of his bank balance.

    If you have been granted a WHV don't worry too much.
