    yes, you can have them as sponsor. They will just submit an Affidavit of support that they will be providing financial support (notarized by Justice of the Peace/Notary Public) stating:
    relation of sponsor to student ;if non-relative:
    1. state how the sponsor knows the student and how long they have known each other)
    2. that the sponsor will provide financial support for expenses (i.e. tuition, living & travel costs) incurred by the student while he/she is studying in Australia.
    3. that the sponsor will grant the student access to the funds intended for his/her expenses.
    4.contact details of sponsor (i.e. address and phone numbers).
    5. how the sponsor is being compensated or repaid (if applicable).
    6. reason why the sponsor is willing to provide financial support to the student.
    Note: All sponsors included in joint bank account/s must sign an Affidavit of Support.
    They must also provide their financial docs.

    Family friend as in hindi niyo po kapamilya? Medyo gray area a hehe...unless the friend will state in writing that he/she is sponsoring you and the funds will stay at your personal account for at least 2 months

    Reply to @LokiJr: oo. No blood relation. Kase ang problema, walang naglalagay na kapamilya namin sa savings ng malaking halaga.. Mas gusto nila time deposit.. Sayang daw interest. E immig naman is not allowing time dep account.

    @alexiam, as long as willing po isulat ng family friend niyo na siya talaga ang magssponsor sa inyo. Take note that Australia takes these contracts and obligations seriously. Hindi siya parang sa atin sa Pinas na puwede na yung "kunwari" sponsor.

    Para hindi po matali yung pera bakit hindi niyo po subukan yung independent skilled visa, or state sponsored visa? Hindi siya kamahalan at madali pa.

    Ang sagot diyan "depende sa gagastusin mo dun"...hindi ka hihingan ng proof of funds para sa 175 visa pero common sense na rin na kailangan magdala tayo ng sapat na pera para panggastos habang naghahanap pa ng trabaho dun hehe

    Check niyo ito http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Australia para may idea kayo sa normal na gastusin sa Australia. Basically, pinakamagastos ang renta :)

    hi knight!

    Proof of funds na hiningi sa amin e almost 4M (almost AUD 92k).
    Me, hubby, 2 school age daughters and a 2 year old baby.. depende kase sa age ng mga bata ang computation nila.. kung ang 3 kids mo e lahat school ages.. malamang mas malaki pa computation sa u...

    ang ipapakita mo e bank statement 3 months before you lodge your application...
    (Please note that the minimum amount is calculated by using the smallest amount held during the three month maintaining period.)

    What if bank certification, indicating the amount of all your accounts in the bank? Hindi ba pwede yun? Because that's what I sent. Nagpagawa yun parents ko ng bank certification from 3 banks, na joint account sila. And then Affidavit of Support nilang dalawa din.
    I think pwede naman yun?

    Thanks for the reply @Alexiam. Susme ang laki pala talaga ng kailangan kong ihanda. Hehehe Isa nalang pong tanong, did you already enroll your school aged children before lodging your visa application? Magkano po ang tuition fee nila? My eldest is 11 at yung sumunod is turning 5 next year so dapat ko na talagang paghandaan.

    Heads up guys, pwede ang time deposit. :) My visa was granted nadin.

    My parents just got bank certifications indicating all their assets. Lahat yun time deposit. 3 banks yun ginamit namin, they got the one from BPI and RCBC. Ewan ko kung bakit binalik sakin yun sa PSBank.
