    @hannahbugsWow. Well at least tapos na yung requirements part. Wedding is october 17 in Sydney pero flexible naman yung date. Ikaw kelan? And may preparations ka na? Kasi ang hirap pag hindi sure yung date. Sabi ng agent 3 to 9 months ang average waiting time ngayon.

    @Jonjie1322 hello! Tourist visas may have a condition of "no further stay" meaning hindi ka pwede mag apply ng kahit anong visa while you are in australia, married or not. Also, celebrants in australia need a one month notice prior to the wedding. So hindi rin kayo agad agad maikakasal especially kung one month din lang ang binigay ng embassy sa iyo. Personally, I suggest mag fiance visa ka na lang muna. Mas sure iyon and less hassle :)

    @hannahbugs wow we haven't planned our honeymoon much yet. Hmmm some of my relatives live there already pero we'll probably apply for a tourist visa for immediate family lang. Is your family going to aus for your wedding?

    @Jonjie1322 it's better if you apply for a fiance visa here kasi mas mahirap yung tourist visa tapos partner. It's more expensive din kasi kapag partner visa in aus from tourist and yung mga requirements mostly dito kukunin.

    Yes that's right! @Jonjie1322 you can visit her naman in Australia even if you are under PMV. Just make sure you are in pinas once the PMV is granted.

    @juan I submitted 4 stat dec ata (i applied offshore so kung onshore 5 un) eto yung pagkakatanda kong sinubmit ko

    1. Stat dec of partner regarding relationship
    2. Stat dec of partner for our son to travel
    3. 2 stat dec of supporting witness in relation to partner visa

    Pero may cases ata na pwede pa yan madagdagan depende sa situation so dapat check mo din yung checklist for partner visa :)

    @juan hello! For your fiance, she needs at least two stat decs (composed by an oz cit). For you naman, i forgot na yung minimum, pero sakin kasi 4 stat decs yung pinaprepare ko sa mga friends and relatives namin ng fiance ko dito sa Pinas ;)
