Getting the Kids to Australia

ten2six SydneyPosts: 166Member

August 2014 in Flying to and out of Australia?

Here's my situation. Me and my wife are already here in Australia and the kids are back home in Pinas. We are on a student visa previously and now we are granted a PR visa. The kids should be here before December 16. I am thinking of getting my mother-in-law to accompany them in getting here instead of us fetching them. Anyone ever done this? Is it hard to get a tourist visa for that reason? And my another concern is what document will they ask at the airport/immigration in Manila or Sydney because the kids are travelling with neither parent.
