    @Kaloys Nakapackage po ba yung Cert 3 in Locksmithing with Diploma of Engineering Technology? 1.5 years lang po kasi yung Cert 3, so kailangan i-package nyo yung studies nyo with something para umabot sa minimum na 2 years (485 visa requirement). And verify nyo po sa school kung kailangan mo magpa-skills assessment bago makapag-apply ng 485 visa.

    @ChefMa what do you mean details? Information on how and where to get it done is already on DHA's website. After submitting your visa application you will be advised by DHA regarding additional information they need from you (including content of medical exam).

    @ChefMa Pwede naman, but you won't know the results until you lodge your visa application. See here.

    @Kaloys Mabuti po yan kung nakapackage na (1.5 years for certificate + 6 months diploma) para sure na at least 92 weeks yung study length.

    Kelan sa Sep ang expiry ng IELTS mo? If mag-eexpire na yung IELTS mo, mas mabuti po na mag-apply ka na sa school bago ito ma-expire kasi pwede naman po na maaga ka mag-apply ng student visa. Sa case ko po kasi July intake ako this year pero end of January palang nag-apply na ko ng visa and na-approve naman (6 full months ahead). Sa tingin ko po pwede ka na mag-apply ng student visa kahit Aug or early Sep, para valid pa talaga ang IELTS mo hanggang ma-grant ang visa mo.

    Hindi ko po sigurado kung kailangan na valid pa ang IELTS pag nag-apply ng student visa, pero sa eCoE ko from university naka-indicate lang doon yung English proficiency exam na pinasa ko sa school at yung overall band score. During visa application hindi ko na inupload yung IELTS results. Mas mainam po siguro na valid pa ang IELTS para walang problema kung sakaling hanapin ng immigration.

    As for your question kung kailangan mo pa ng tourist visa, hindi na po kailangan kasi once ma-grant ang student visa mo, effective na ang visa mo so anytime pwede ka na pumunta sa Melbourne. Yun nga lang, hindi ka pa pwede magwork hangga't d pa nagsisimula ang course mo. Ang naka-indicate lang kasi sa student visa ay yung expiry date nya, walang nakalagay kung kailan ang start date ng visa. Sayang din po kasi ang babayaran mo sa tourist visa kung kukuha ka pa nun.

    @daint081189 Hi, kailangan po na ang length of OSHC coverage mo ay macocover ang length of study mo. Icacalculate mo po siya from the intended entry date (if you're flying to AU really early) until student visa expiry date (2-3 months after end of course/program).

    Hello po! Ask ko lang po kung pwede ba magapply ng student visa kahit na senior high palang sa pinas. Ano ano po ang steps? Same lang din ba sa post grad? Thank you po sa sagot! God bless!

    @mahbi may unconditional offer letter na po ba from the university yung senior high student? Kasi pwede lang po mag-apply ng student visa pag na-satisfy na ng prospective student ang entry requirements ng university, usually hs transcript and diploma/certification of graduation (if the uni recognizes the senior high education to be equivalent to Australian Year 12, otherwise baka kailangan pa mag-enroll sa pre-university program). Once may unconditional offer na, pwede na bayaran yung fees stated in the offer letter para maka-enroll at makakuha ng eCoE, which is required for student visa application.

    For postgrad studies, bachelor degree transcript and diploma ang kailangan ipasa sa university, but similar process na kailangan may full offer, enroll to get eCoE, then apply for visa.

    Hello, everyone! I've been a lurker for the past several weeks and would just like to share my timeline to inspire others as they endure the torturous waiting period for that "granted" IMMI status. I myself survived the anxiety and hopelessness through the success stories that continue to flood in across all discussion boards. Even if I am a complete stranger, I would like to thank everyone for the positive vibes and I am sending them back to each one of you, threefold. :) God bless you all!

    @mahbi To get an unconditional offer, the applicant has to fulfill all the entry requirements stipulated by the university (listed on uni website). Some schools only give conditional offers kung kulang yung documentation, like IELTS results.
