atsaka isa pa galing po kasi ako kahapon sa Aus Embassy para samahan ko po ang pinsan ko na nagaplay ng Tourist Visa 48R for 3 months ang bilis ng process sabi nila by next day or makalawa idedeliver n lang daw yung visa nya, naisip ko lang may nabasa kasi ako dun na pwedeng mag study kahit tourist visa? yung tinignan ko kasi yung checklist nya. pede po ba yun??? dun n ako mismo sa aus mag eenroll????

regarding sa tourist visa.. nabasa ko sa DIAC na pwede mag study pero up to max of 3 months lang.. sayang naman ng bayad pag apply ng tourist visa tas mag apply ka ulit ng student visa doble gastos... if you really intend to study mas maganda na student visa na mismo iapply mo...

Hi @JELLiiiN! Ano plan mo after ng aged care mo? kasi before, plan ko din sana yan (Cambridge din , kasi may visa assistance ako napuntahan before, yun yung advice nila sa akin. na kuha ako ng aged care then hanap ng sponsor para maka-apply for working visa. Then nung nagbasa basa ako at nagtanong tanong, di pala nagsposponsor ang mga employers ng working visa kapag aged care lang unless RN ka na dun. Although madali nga makapunta sa Aus pag yun ang course mo at mas mababa ang IELTS requirement. So what are your plans ba after ng aged care?

Hi Sorry late reply, hindi ko din alam y ako na interview, maybe i was randomly selected, maybe they found my application suspicious (I have no idea why).. Actually it was more of an interrogation when I sat for the interview.
