hi po my mom lodge the TV for me and my sister in Brisbane last May 6. She received the Acknowledgement letter ng sister ko but yung sa akin sa may 19 pa nila na send yung acknowledgement letter pero sabay naman ni lodge ng mother ko. but the current location ng sister ko is Saudi and im here sa phils. would it mean yung 6 weeks ng counting would start sa may 19? we are planning to fly to australia sa 19 this month

@Admin hi admin and to everyone who have applied for tourist visa online, yung scanned documents po ba na iupload ko kailangan ko pa ipacertify as true copy kahit original scanned documents naman ang iscan at iattach ko sa application? Anong experience nyo regarding this? Salamat ng marami!

no need for CTC. coloured scanned copies of the original pwede na.

Normally yes, 4-6 weeks from the date of acknowledgment. That’s what happened sa friend ko, lagpas na sa date ng travel namin, wala pa rin result ung tourist visa nia, from PH din inapply. Hopefully yours is within 4 weeks pa din namn.

Usually 1 month stay. the validity and whether multiple or single entry depends on the case officer.

Jhona

tanong ko lng po ..balak po nming mag apply for tourist visa kaso this will be our first time to go out of the philippines so wala kming travel history bka isang factor un para di nila igrant visa namin ? and ask ko lng if khit na wala kming relative doon ,kmi namn ang maghahandle all of the expenses ?pwede b ganon? thANK U

se29m

@Jhona as long as you can justify na babalik kayo at hindi magoverstay sa Oz then your application should be fine

jen_abe

Hello poh, bagung kasal po kmi ng Australian husband ko..mg aapply po sana ako ng Visit Visa, possible po ba sa akin yun?

se29m

@jen_abe of course. Pero you still need to go through the process of applying.. Kailangan mo lang iprove na babalik ka pa ng Pinas and with enough funds to support your tourist stay in oz.

paci-ghie

yaaaahhhhooooo!!!! visa granted kami ng sister ko. just received the VISA GRANT NOTICE..

@paci-ghie hi sis. yung acknowledgement letter ba yun yung automatic computer generated letter from the embassy? ganun kase na receive ko for my mom in law. once i submitted the application online here in sydney i received agad an email from the embassy na acknowledgement letter but its computer generated lang. is it really like that or a personal letter from a case officer? thanks

paci-ghie

@avp_manaloto yes sis.. ang nang yari sa amin. my mom lodge my application and my sisters application together. my mom was able to receive the acknowledgement letter thru email for the application of my sister 2 days after na receive nila yung application namin. yung sa akin lang yung sa akin lang ang post mail talaga may 19 yun. but same lang ang hitsura ng na receive thru email and post.
my mom didn't know the reason why they separate it. but yung VISA GRANT naman lumabas together both thru email.
when did you send the application sis?

@paci-ghie sis i sumbitted the application may 25 afternoon then soon as i sent it meron agad email dumating sakin na acknowledgement. di man ako naghintay ng il an g araw for the acknowledgement. but its computer generated lang. kala ko kase it will come from a case officer. so until now application received parin ang status

hopefully

Hello everyone., Can anyone give me a compelling reason para ma-grant ang visa aside from tour, sightseeing, and the like., Yun bang tipong pag nabasa ng case officer parang 50% chance na na ma-grant. Thanks po sa mga magbibigay ng feedback., God bless to us all

hi norma here,ask me lang kung its easy kung magpakasal muna kami dito ng bf ko then apply for a partner visa? then kailangan ba talaga ang sufficient fund or bank account or personal assets to avail such a tourist(paano kung talagang mahirap lang) wala na ba talagang pag-asa... (nearly 5 years na kami,we tried to apply last 2012 for tourist visa,pero twice na nadenied..salamat and umaasa sa inyong sagot..god bless

Roms

Hi Admin,

Got my (Business) Tourist Visa approved - single entry for 3 months. Need ko pa ba mgpamedical? Thank you.

Roms

@paci-ghie Hello, got my Tourist Visa (single entry-3 months) granted as well, do I still need to undergo medical? Congrats?

se29m

@Roms if may nakalagay na ganyan condition sa visa grant notice mo, then you should.. pero ang alam ko, if less than a year, no need for medicals

i dont think so. they wouldnt approve ur visa kung may pending requirements, unless stated in the letter.

u need a bank statement to prove na u are financially capable na maging tourist, of course they wouldnt want someone to enter Australia then mag work dun ilegally or engage in any ilegal activity just to survive when in Australia. if u dont have a bank statement, then u can get your partner to provide the bank statement as your sponsor.
