    May nakarxperience ba applying for visit visa na finalised na ung application pero no attachment and correspondence din? I have applied for my niece, the system shows finalised but i dont know whether its approved or not. Has anyone experienced the same? May nakakaalam ba who and which email address to contact? Apparently, there is no case officer and i have only received the auto generated email for application received

    @dee0829 Online application naman din, and meron pa ngang biometrics dito so super hassle. Anyway, try namin mag-apply uli when we visit sa Pinas...

    Ask ko lang. Is it easier to apply tourist visa the 2nd time? My first was granted just last november tapos nag stay ako for 2 weeks. Wanted to go back for a holiday in June. Will there be a problem? I just applied again this week.

    @orangenarwhal From watching Border Security Australia, I don't think there will be an issue... primarily, you complied naman with the conditions of the first grant, like you did not overstay or work during that 2 week visit.

    @cucci Thanks for replying! Yeah. just visited during the Christmas holidays. Kahit 2nd time ko na, I still feel anxious about my visa grant. Still waiting for it! Been checking my email like every 5 mins HAHA. I think I even put more documents than the first time I applied - like round trip tickets to Korea with my friends as proof of return.

    @cucci congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ilang days all in all yung processing? did you apply by post or online? via VFS ako dito eh - just because "boyfriend" is not on the list ng "What is your relationship to your sponsor?" sa online form. It's been a problem of many people here in the forums.

    @orangenarwhal Lodged online Mar 27 and got the grant Apr 6, that's 10 days including weekends and holidays... quite surprised because the posted estimated processing times was 20-31 days... relationship is 'de facto'...

    Hi! Need your inputs po sana regarding my tourist visa application via Immiaccount. I have already submitted my application when I realized that I answered NO when asked whether or not I had visa refusal or cancellation before. I thought the question was only referring to Australia and not any other country. I was not granted Korean visa 4 years ago. So on that same day that I submitted my application, I filled out Form 1023 to correct the information given. Do you think this will affect the outcome of my application? I have been around 9 Asian countries in the last 6 years. I am working in the government now and have enough savings/show money in my bank certificate. Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hello @orangenarwhal ! Congrats! Maybe email VFS? Mabilis naman sila magreply. Just to be sure. Ask ko lang, kailan ka nagpasa sa VFS Manila? Naghihintay pa rin kasi kami up until now. Thanks!

    @leadme sa immiaccount po ako. Last year kasi dun na din ako nag-apply granted naman and mas madali. Kaya medyo conuse lang ako bakit kasama na yung ganitong requirements.

    @jojoyjm ah ok ok, siguro i-accomplish mo na lang din para sigurado. Not sure though who qualifies as a witness. Better have it signed by a notary public.

    Hi, Has anyone recently lodged an online application and how long it took to have a decision? The current processing time posted in Home Affairs webiste is 17-31 days. I just lodged mine yesterday and hoping (cross-fingers) to get a decision before 15th May.

    @engr.20 usually 3-5 working days if applied online and if your application/documents are straightforward.

    All the best. xx
