hi apple, do you have some more information about the required show money. i will be living with my sister who is currently in AUS, so i have free board and lodging, do you think i can show less show money because of that. I only have AUS$10,000 available right now.

You can find info on evidence of funds for student visa applicants here: https://www.immi.gov.au/students/student-visa-living-costs.htm
are you applying for 572 or 573? Have you checked the requirements for SVP so you can avoid having to show proof of financial capacity?

regarding naman po sa medical, may accredited ang au immig kung saan ka pwede magpa-medical. kaya po unless na don kayo magpamedical hindi sya tatanggpin ng immig. pero hindi po ako siguro kung kelangan mag lodge muna or pwede mauna yung medical.

@linuxguy , kaka pa medicals ko lang nung April 11, 2014 sa St. Luke's sa Ermita. Subclass 572 rin ako na non-medical course (children's services). Ang kinuha lang sa akin is X-Ray, urine sample, and medical exam sa doctor. Yung sa doctor, puro tanong lang sya (yes or no) at di ako halos kinapa sa medical exam. Inom ka pala nang maraming tubig para okay ang urine results mo (pinababalik daw ang mga lumabas na may UTI). Very particular din sila sa Tuberculosis.
Nagpamedical nga pala ako before I submitted my application last April 22nd. Sabi kasi ng agent ko (Carelink Asia) mas mapapabilis ang processing time ko lalo na kung confident ako na healthy ako.
Eto yung link in order to get your Referral Letter.

Sa totoo lang, nakaka nosebleed ang website ng immi. Di ko malalaman yung link ng My Health Declarations kung di sa akin ipipinpoint ng agent ko.
