<blockquote class="Quote" rel="axlrose">@Aiza05 Thanks for your reply! Yun nga din pla question ko sana, kase nabasa ko nga din na we can act as an "exempt person" since close family naman ang inaapplyan natin. Medyo unsure pa nga lang ako kaya naisip ko kung puwedeng Immiaccount lng gawin ko, fill-up the forms for them, upload docs (with the pretense na sila yung gumawa nun, hehe) tpos yung mga e-mail correspondence directed na sa e-mail accounts nila. Pero ok din lang naman yung first option wherin iappoint tau as the authorised recipient.
I hope may mgshare dito kung natry na nila any of the 2 options: 1)act as the authorised recipient or 2)set-up Immiaccount and assist with the online application
Yung sa siblings ko naman, they still live with our parents at ung ngaaral financially dependent pa naman sa parents namin so naisip ka baka a letter from them would help, aside from our proof of funds here in AU. Or pag ganong case nga na kami ang mgffinancially support ng trip ng siblings ko, should we go for the sponsored-family stream visa then instead of the tourism visa? Yung sa sponsored nga lang, they might ask you to provide a bond. Tourism stream visa ba yung inapplyan ng friend mo or sponsored? Medyo confusing din pala. hehe, I'll try to read-up more on that and I hope may mgshare din ng experiences nila dito. Salamat!

@axlrose ,
No worries! Glad to help esp. pag may konting alam ako about the topic..sa tingin ko lang huh mas madali (for me) kc ung minention ko na option since bata prn mga kapatid ko at ngaaral pa kya much better na ako na ang mag asikaso lahat at ako lang din nman ng asikaso lahat ng tourist visa namin dati pa nung wla pang online application hehehe!..that is my opinion lang and based nrn sa experience ko at mga analyzation ng mga procedure.
Nope, never go for sponsored-family stream kasi malaki ang chance na hingan ka ng bond..ung iba ko kakilala yan ang inapplayan pra ata mkapg stay ng mas matagal ang parents nila pero kung pra ipasyal lng dto ay tama na ang simpleng tourist visa..ung sa friend ko, tourist visa lang..even nung wedding ko dto and ininvite ko parents ko at isang tita at pamangkin ko, tourist visa lng inapply ko for them..sinabi ko lang ang totoong reason (to attend my wedding) and na grant sila ng 3 month visa...pinaganda at inayos ko ng sobra ang invitation letter pra convincing tlg na hndi sila mgooverstay dto at supported namin kuno ang lahat ng gastos nila dto..ganon lang..turo lang din sakin yan ng friend ko na bsta genuine ka sa mga reasons mo ng paginvite sa mga relatives mo and as much as possible, provide mo lahat ng evidence of funds pra convincing for the immigration na kaya mo silang supportahan for the duration ng stay nila dto..and may nangyari din kasi sa bestfriend ko last year, I invited her eh since I didn't pay enough attention to the application kya na deny sya..reason being is, ang laki dw kasi ng fund nya sa bangko which is hndi dw kapani paniwala na hndi sya mgooverstay dto, her age as well since marrying age sya that time and single, wlang offspring and solong anak sya kya sa tingin ng immigration mg ooverstay sya dto to either work or look for a spouse, when consulted this to my friend, sabi nya dpat normal bank account (kung saan napasok ang salary nya, not the bank account na may malaking pera) and dpat inayos ko ang invitation letter lol! Lesson learned: wag gawing biro ang tourist visa hehehe! Good luck! ;-)
