    Hello! Question for Tourist Visa stream-- will there be instances where CO will require Health Exams if you applied for "up to 3 months stay" only? Or do they just require that for 6months and above? Thank you!

    @anastacia tourist visa usually has NO work conditions and limited study options. If your intention is to work/study, better to pursue the correct visa for it. All the best

    @yennerz13 A single immi account can process visa application for others. Be sure to create a group for those who will be travelling as a group or as family for easier processing. I think all applications pass through the same Case Officer when coming from a single group.

    @yennerz13 Mahirap mag comment kasi di ko naman po alam current status mo at ang details ng bawat isa sa mga applicants. I presume di pa naman age 75 up ang mom mo kse otherwise hindi pwede ang online application.
    However, if all documents are in place:
    1. Letter of invitation indicating your are sponsoring all their expenses during their stay,
    2. Your financial docs showing at least an amount that would be sufficient to cover their expenses,
    3. Planned itenerary/tour details
    4. Proof of ties to the Philippines so that there is compelling reason that they would not be overstaying
    a. real estate propertie(s)
    b. bank certification(s) of deposit(s) and other financial instrument(s).
    c. employment certifications showing the person is allowed leave of absence (if employed)
    5, Individual passports
    then you can do the application on your own...
