Online Application - Tourist Visa Parent

DdCoco

Hi everyone!

On immi account ba, pag application received, yun na yun? Kasi when I log in, may option parin sa baba nung 3 applications na "Submit Application."

Also, pag nag upload ba ng documents, wala ng submit? Basta upload lang?

Thanks! :-)

@mjse - thank you.

update : I applied online a family sponsored TV application for my mum and my sister. In my application, I specifically noted my sister is a travel companion of my mum who is 85 years old. though she is able and mobile, we don't want her to travel alone. today I received a request to lodge a bond of $10,000 for my sister. i don't recall reading here anyone who has been requested to lodge a bond. did I do anything wrong?

hello guys,

we will be lodging soon the visitor visa of my mother in law for my wife's graduation next year (May 2016). Is it beneficial to create my mother in law's immi account knowing that we are here in OZ or she will just create her account in Philippines? or it doesn't matter at all (present location whether Oz or Pinas). appreciate your opinion on this one guys

@danyan2001us We created one here in AU for my mother in law in dubai, we were the one who submitted/uploaded all the docs on the immi account we created, I put my wife's email as the primary contact and received the visa grant there. Hope this helps. Thanks!

thanks a lot bro for your prompt reply...appreciate it so much....ok we will create her immi account here in Oz....in our case do you think we will be required for a bond or any funds on her end? how about the insurance, did you also get one for her while here in Oz?

Depends which TV you apply for, may dalawa kasing type of TV, one of which is the family sponsored visa (660 ata un not sure) which is the one you need to have a bond for depends on immi how much. My mother in law's visa was TV 600 or the normal tourist visa, we still mentioned that we are gonna sponsor all her expenses like ticket, living allowance etc. in the application. As for the health insurance, she's under 60 so nde pa sya nirequire to have one on application but we bought one with australian unity for $99/month just to be safe. Hope this helps. Thanks

Again thanks a lot bro for your help...makakatulong ito sa amin regarding sa application ng mother in law ko. God bless to all of us.

@sydneysider anong tv kinuha nyo po?

sydneysider

@icebreaker1928

subclass 600. may way ba to follow up?

batman

@sydneysider just an opinion perhaps the immigration officer was not satisfied with the supporting documents that your sister will go back to home country after the visit kaya nag bond. Kung na established and supported na may babalikan sya like employment letter from employer or enrolled sa school, or assets na maiiwan which are the common support na babalik sa home country ang visitor.

Hi. Has anyone tried to make an online application for their parents' tourist visa this January 2016? Why is it that documents such as personal bank statements of my parents were already required to be attached prior to making the payment? And REQUIRED DOCUMENT yung personal bank statement ng parents ko even if i stated in one of the 18 steps na sagot ko lahat ng expenses nila. Akala ko after payment pa ang pag.attach ng docs and hindi required kundi recommended lang. Nagbago ba ang site? Subclass 600 naman ang pinili kong application. Bakit ganun?

icebreaker1928

@april13 same experience here, nirerequire muna nila attachment of documents bago magbayad, which is a good thing in my opinion... para attach muna bago gastos...

kaso yun nga, required na yung bank statement, pati yung mga travels, e first time pa lang nila labas ng bansa.

icebreaker1928

@april13 nirequire ka din ba magsagot ng FORM 956A?
(Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised recipient)

Bali appoint nila ako as authorised recipient, pero naguguluhan ako dito sa number 10.

Names of other persons 16 years of age or older who are appointing the same authorised recipient in relation to the same matter

May isa pa kasing kasama na sponsor din namin, ilalagay ko rin kaya yung name nya dito?
pero separate application din sya diba?

ito yung form... http://www.border.gov.au/forms/Documents/956a.pdf

any opinion guys? tia

icebreaker1928

dun sa Form 956A din pala, kelangan ng pirma namin at pirma ng isponsor namin.
so pano yun?
1. print namin dito tapos sign,
2. padala sa kanila yung document via courier
3. sign nila,
4. scan then email

may iba pa bang way?

Hi @icebreaker1928, kakareceive ko lang ng visa grant para sa mother ko. I lodged her application online nung January 11... Nirequire din ako to sign on Form 956A, kaming dalawa ng partner ko yung sponsor pero ako lang ang nagsign sa FORM 956A, wala naman naging problem.

sa tingin ko po yung form 956a ay para iauthorise ka lang to receive any form of communication between the applicant and immigration, so no need magpasign sa isa pang sponsor.

yung sa mom ko, sinend ko sa kanya through email lang yung form 956A.

april13

@icebreaker1928 hi, mukhang bagong system nga to ngayon, attach muna bago bayad. sakin yung bank statement ko yung inattach ko kasi sabi naman dun sa description ng bank statement is "proof of how you can support yourself financially while travelling in Australia". in our case, ako naman magsusupport sa parents ko so bank statement ko yung nilagay ko. if mali then, icocontact ka naman ng case officer. yung proof of travel history, wala akong inattach kasi hindi din applicable like yung sayo. pag nag proceed ka kasi sa bayad na kulang yung inattach mo, papa-explainin ka bakit. so nilagay ko not applicable yung proof of travel history kasi nga wala namang tatak pa yung passport ng parents ko.

april13

@icebreaker1928 hindi ako naglagay ng authorised recipient dun sa mga questions kaya di ako nirequire ng form na yan. ang gulo kasi pag may mga ganyan kaya di na ko nag nominate ng authorised recipient. :-D

april13

@Micaiah08 wow ang bilis naman - nag provide ka ba ng bank statement ng mama mo kahit kayo yung magsusupport financially sa kanya?

Micaiah08

@april13 nagprovide yung mom ko ng bank statement pero di naman ganun kalaki ang savings nya sa account... Tapos nagprovide ako ng bank statement ko plus payslip.

SG based din po ba nung inapply niyo ang mother niyo? ako naman I applied on 16 and she did biometrics last 19. Based on your timeline hopefully we'll get it by next week. Sa case naman ng mother ko eh retired na siya so eto lang ang attachments ko. Form 956A, Bank accounts although hindi naman ganun kalakihan since retired na, Birth & Marriage Certificates, Car Registration, Lot Deed, oldest passport upto current passport details and travel history (medyo marami especially yung luma since pabalik-balik sila ng Saudi every year as well as US). Medyo alanganin ako dahil sa dami pero sana okey lahat at makuha na next week.

Hello sorry if stupid questions po, first time lang.
I am PR for more than 2 years na.
If I apply for a TV for my parents using online immi account, do I apply in their behalf or do they apply as themselves? Nagtry kasi ako mag create ng new application sa immi online pero ang questions are directed to the applicant.
Meron sila dependent na kids na sasama din punta dito, should I apply for all of them using sponsored visa or pwede TV lang?
Sa cost ng TV, same cost per person or half ang kids? Thank you po for the time.
