    Good morning everyone :)

    Question po, may nakapag apply na ba sa inyo ng Tourist Visa with a stay period of 6 months?

    Kapag po ba 6 months ang pinili, required po ba mag undergo ng medical exam?


    Thanks in advance :)

    @wakka slim to impossible chance. companies are strict when it comes to employ people on visit visa. you can try though. yet its risky.

    Hello,

    I want to apply for an Australian tourist visa. I'm a CSR working for more than a year now and I also have a part-time job, I'm teaching Japanese students English. I have a friend from Aussie (he's an Australian citizen) which will help me get a visa. If ever, this is going to be my first time travelling abroad since I don't have any travel history outside of the country yet. I am employed but I don't have enough funds sa bank to cover the show money but my friend told me that he will transfer some of his money sa bank account ko for the sake of having an approved visa. My question is, will my application be approved considering I haven't traveled abroad yet? If ever, I will have enough funds naman to cover my whole stay in Aussie. Also, do I also need to ask my friend to provide an invitation letter to get more chances of getting approved? I might be staying in Sydney for a week and I might have a fund worth, 150k. Would that be enough?

    Hoping to get a response.
    Thank you!

    paano po yung health declaration? 1 week lang naman po ang pag stay ko sa aussie if ever ma approved.
    ibang part ba sya ng sinasagutan sa immi account?
    saan po na-aacess yun?

    ang isa ko pang problem ung itenerary.
    sa december pa kasi ang plano ko magbakasyon. pero ngayon palang nag ttry nko mag apply. to be honest ang papasyalan namin dun ung mga scenic spot na halos wala ka babayadan pasyal lang tlaga at kain sa mga resto at konting shopping lang.

    i need to write reason bakit wla akong attachment sa "Planned Activities/itenerary" help naman po. anu pwde ko i-reason?
    (kabado ako at first time)

    Hello.. ask ko lang po baka meron may alam dito....

    nag lodge po ako ng application for Student Visa last July 18, then August 1st week pa ako nakapagpa medical. Until now still waiting pa din po, which is okay pa naman kasi di pa naman po nare-reach yung maximum processing time. :)

    Pero okay lang po ba mag apply ng Tourist Visa while waiting for my Student Visa?

    @axlrose hi. Sorry to interrupt with you. But regards to your answer. Does it mean ba na pag granted ka ng multiple entry allowed ka to re-enter Australia kahit ilan beses as long as di lalagpas ng 3mos and hindi lalagpas sa date na provided bg immigration? Thanks

    @batman Ask ko lang if pede makapag-apply for bridging if the visa is visitor Class FA, conditions are 8101-no work and 8201-max 3 mos study? Since it is not specifically stated the 'no further stay' imposition to the visa. Any advise? Salamat much

    @athan2017 sorry about extension ng visit visa or bridging di ko aware about e. pero per my understanding kong initial entry mo is for visit purpose lang at hindi for longer stay i dont think pede ka extend kasi in the first instance dapat clear ka na ng intention mo na short stay lang otherwise you should have applied for a different type of visa. just my thought.

    Bridging Visa is only issued when you are applying for another visa for you to remain lawful while waiting for the new visa result. In your case on a tourist visa, once you lodge another visa application( not an extension of a tourist visa), a bridging visa is automatically generated and will only take effect once your tourist visa expires and the new visa application hasn't been decided yet. If your purpose is to come and look for work hoping that someone will sponsor you for a work visa, i guess the possibility is very small. Employers will not entertain your application if they found out that you are on a tourist visa unless na siguro kung very impressive ang credentials mo and they cannot find any locally. If you are qualified to apply for a migrant visa, you can come on a tourist visa and apply here but why not apply in Ph and live and work indefinitely in Au once the visa is granted. Baka maging issue pa later na you originally intended to come on holiday and here you are looking for work.

    Hi, share ko lang po yong experience ko when I applied for tourist visa last Friday (Feb2) and granted nong Monday(Feb) agad. One working day lang po yong processing sakin and multiple entries po sya.

    About sa mga requirements po, I think the more the better and big chance na Ma grant agad. Basta submit lang lahat Ng docs na nakalagay sa checklist nila and may intention kang bumalik sa country of residence mo.

    Btw, I applied it online and thank God talaga ang bilis ng approval.

    @dee0829 yes, malaki ang chance. Just attach an invitation letter from her sa application mo as well as both of your bank statements and payslips if possible or kahit yung sayo lang if enough na. It also helps if you will include title deed, cartificate of employment, etc

    @simple_lady , tama si @dee0829 check through VEVO.. You should just apply online by yourself, it’s easy and fast. As long as you provide as much documents as you can if you are applying for tourist visa. The more documents or proof that you have strong ties to your country of residence the better chances you have to get your visa application approved.
