@babie sa Queensland ka ba? As far as I know, you can only apply for a blue card once you’re onshore because you need to be verfified by your school. And first aid and cpr, google some institutions that offer one. Around 150 aud yung training yung nakita ko sa Brisbane.

Hi po. I have this funny story.

Dependent po ako ng husband ko. We just got our visa. Thank god. Before po kami nag aply for au, try ng try lang po kaming mag ka baby. Wala eh. Zero. Ngayon, andito na visa namin. Flying to queensland july. Buntis ako. Haha nakooo talaga. 1 month. Okay lang ba mag work ako kahit buntis? Our plan is for me to fly back to phils kapag 7 months na kasi dito ako manganganak and will have my parents take care of our baby.

May naka try na po ba neto? Kaya po ba talagang mag impok kahit student visa? Thabj you po

@matilda depends on how your wellbeing is as a pregnant woman. Iba iba naman per person so gauge mo na lang as you go.

Guys i have a question. When i took the pte exam, sinabi ko na purpose is migration. Now, im considering a student visa. Im afraid na if it is required to send the exam to DHA, makikita nila yung reason ko for taking the pte. I wanna ask sa mga successful student visa holders: was it required that you forward your pte scores to DHA and/or your school? Or yung pdf copy lang ok na? Thanks!

autumnleaf

@MLBS hi. You don’t submit the printed version. You will send your scores to the school and DHA for your visa application directly from the PTE site, that’s the only way.

MLBS

@autumnleaf thank you. Looks like i need to retake it kasi back when i took the exam, it was for migration not study.

@MLBS does the PTE exam indicate on the results the purpose of the exam? Was your PTE the Academic type or General? If you're going to universities, they might look for the Academic type of English exam; but try to confirm with the Admissions Office if they will accept General (if that's what you have). The eCoE you get from the university (in my case) will indicate the results of your English proficiency, so you don't need to submit the English exam results to DHA.

MLBS

@athelene pte kasi is academic lang e, dual purpose na yun (study or for migration). What I worry is that If need ko iforward yung results to DHA, nilagay ko kasi before na ang reason ko to on taking the test is migration, not study. Pag may eCoe na ba, ok na yun? Wala nang hihingiin na english test down the line? I think kasi since digital lang ang result ng PTE, kaya need i forward e, tho may pdf ako ng results.

Hello guys, patapos na ako sa clinical placement, and I'm planning to lodge ng student visa and magtake ng Leadership and Management, however sa Sc600 ko nakalagay ng No Further stay sa condition, can I lodge here while Im in Melbourne, I still have 3 weeks here bago umuwi ng Pinas. If magrant si student visa pwede ba akong umuwi muna ng Pinas ang babalik ng July 20 Kasi july 24 pa ang intake. Thank you

athelene

@MLBS I see. During visa application I was only required to provide details of the English test: name of test (IELTS), date of test, test reference number, country where it was taken, and test core. No need to upload a scan of the exam results. I think it won't be an issue naman, since you can simply say (IF they ask lang) that you changed your mind and you want to just study only hehehe.

@MissAussie Please take a look at the following pages first (for complete details):

<a href="https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa/visa-about-to-expire-or-expired/extend-my-stay">Visa Extension</a>

<a href="https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/corporate/information/fact-sheets/52b-nfc">No Further Stay Fact Sheet</a>

According to these pages, if you have a "No Further Stay" condition under your current visa, you can't lodge for a student visa onshore. I believe you have to leave Australia and lodge the student visa off-shore (you can't send your application to Australian embassy/consulates outside Australia while you're still in Australia).

<blockquote class="Quote">If you have a 'No further stay' condition on your visa, you cannot apply for another visa while in Australia (except a protection visa or a temporary visa of a specified kind). You must depart Australia no later than on the date on which your visa expires.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="Quote"><b class="Bold">If your visa will soon expire</b>

Requests for waiver of 'No Further Stay' conditions cannot be decided 'on the spot' as they require careful consideration against legal criteria. It might not be possible for the Department to make a decision on your request before your visa expires. Lodging a request for waiver of a 'No Further Stay' condition does not automatically mean you will be in Australia lawfully until the request is decided. If your visa expires before the Department can decide your request, you will become unlawful. This has serious consequences.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="Quote">A 'No Further Stay' condition is a condition that prevents the visa holder from applying for many temporary and permanent visas while they are in Australia. 'No Further Stay' conditions include 8503, 8534 and 8535.

If one of these conditions has been imposed on your visa, you cannot apply for another visa (except a protection visa or a temporary visa of a specified kind, while you are in Australia).

If you don't have the right to remain in Australia, you must depart.

When you depart Australia, a 'No Further Stay' condition will not prevent you from applying for other visas.</blockquote>

The very first part of the student visa application will already ask you where you are applying from and why you are there (if you live outside your home country, you have to tell them what kind of visa do you hold). So from here palang malalaman na ng DHA if eligible ka to apply for student visa or not.

Have you secured your eCoE and other student visa application requirements? In my opinion (FYI I'm no migration expert/agent ha), it might be best to return to Manila first and apply from there para hindi ma-reject yung student visa application (sayang yung visa fee), kasi clear sa website nila na hindi ka pwede mag-apply while you're onshore. Kung 3 weeks away pa ang departure mo from Australia and July intake ka, may risk na hindi umabot ang student visa mo (in time for your course start). Maybe you can consider delaying to the next intake para hindi ka gahulin sa oras for your student visa application?
