@kittykitkat18 kung napasa nya lahat ng documents ang status dapat is your application is being assessed.
@rosie_sg don't try to bring anything kung ang intention mo is maghanap ng work dun sa AU kasi breach sya tlga ng visa mo pag naghanap ka. Mahirap na mahuli. Lalo pa ngaun naghihigpit sila tlga, kung balak mo yan do it ng much less people ang nakakaalam and good luck po sayo.

just want to share my experience regarding my tourist visa grant. First TV applied April 23 Visa grabted April 27. Very smooth application. As of my 2nd TV applied Sept 20 granted Sept25. As long as you satisfy the CO na may babalikan ka sa Pinas and you have sufficient funds to support your stay in Australia they will grant you the visa. Well in my case, i just applied for 3 months TV first i was granted single entry the second one is multiple. I didnt use any migration agent for my application. I just it myself through online immi. Feel free to ask baka makatulong ako. God bless po sa lahat ng naghihintay pa ng visa grant

@pullup- true I admit na sa akin medyo kulang pa actually noong nagsubmit ko na. Then habang nagbibilang ng days ops saka ko narealize di ko pala naattach yong employment cert at vacation leave. thanks God approved pa then and multiple entry pa. Siguro yon ang sinasabi pag bibigay sayo kahit gaano ka tagal. Kung para sayo eh darating din.

Kung sa online ka ba nag apply ng TV at nasa Pilipinas ka, ang AU embassy Manila ba ang mag issue sayo ng Tourist visa? Napansin ko kase na ang ginamit na letterhead sa Tourist visa ay AU embassy Manila sa lower part ng visa. Kung application naman ng Pemanent Residency or Sponsored visa at online ang mag issue ba ng Visa ay ang DIBP Australia na? Tama ba?

If its okay, can you qoute how many numbers are there in your sponsors account po? Kasi worried po ko na nasa less $10,000au ung savings nya, do you think po kaya okay naman un?
Hello, question lang po, mag-aapply kasi ako ng tourist visa sa december since I have plans to go there by end of march 2018. It will be my first time being out of the country if ever. I am currently worrying about the bank statement, do they require that? or okay na yung bank certificate. I currently have less than 100k kasi sa account ko I plan to get a loan in the future to have at least show money. Plan ko lang ibigay is bank certificate. Do you think it will suffice? Saka magtatanong na rin sana ako kung ano magandang amount to have in my bank account since it will be my first time to travel out of the country. Thank you po sa sasagot.

Hi guys! Update ko lang kayo. Nandito na ko sa Brisbane naging smooth naman ang entry process ko from Immigration sa atin till here sa Brisbane. Noong dumating ako dito medyo umuulan saka laging naambon. Pero ok lang kase kayang-kaya mamasyal dala ang pati. Nasa Springfield central kami malapit so if papunta ng brisbane central it takes 1 hour. Maganda dito katulad ng mga comments ng iba pang makapunta na. Worth it naman ang gastos at once in lifetime makapag travel at down under. Good luck sa inyo mga nag-aapply pa. Just be honest lang sa lahat ng visa questionnaire and for sure you will get a good result.

@Mizai01 wala naman kaso ung how much laman mo sa bank account para maging reason for them to deny. Ang important is yung may reason ka na bumalik ng pinas at hindi magoverstay. Okay lang un bank account mo na papakita na monthly may pumapasok from your employer.
@rosie_sg maulan nga ngaun jan hahaha sarap matulog. Enjoy!!!
