    @reena_june24 you can calculate, cost of hotel, kong may shopping ka pa, food mo, transport cost etc. depends sa itinerary mo. we applied our 6 months befoe the travel kasi may plan b kami na ibang bansa if in case di ma approve AU.

    Hi,

    Question po, I wam trying to apply for Tourist Visa and an officer sent me an email today with this message:

    A) Please upload the following documents.
    - For self-employed applicant, please provide copy of business profile
    - For employee, please provide employment letter indicating relevant employment details and leave approval for the intended trip (not work contract, leave application or email)

    She asked me to upload within 3 days from the email.

    My question is I already uploaded yung Certificate of Employment ko with Job Description position and all. Iba pa po ba yung Employment Letter? I can understand sa leave approval na hindi ako nagsubmit but I don't understand po yung sa Employment Letter.. Thanks!

    Hello everyone! just a few questions. I'm applying for a tourist visa for my mom. She actually had a previous tourist visa, one year, multiple entry (expired last Aug 2018). Here are my questions:

    1. Part of the recommended documents was an Evidence of Family Composition. How did you supply this one? When we applied before, it was not part of the recommended documents. (And since it is just recommended, would it be fine to skip it?)
    2. I am on student visa. The reason why she's applying is to accompany me on my first few weeks in Australia so I can settle. Where should this one be declared? Kasi hindi naman ako part nung not coming to Australia, or should I indicate it on persons travelling with her?)

    Thank you very much.

    Hello everyone. Hope someone can share their experience with regards to IO from ph. My husband has resigned from his job. Tatanungin pa ba cya ng IO about his job? I remember meron departure slip na ibibigay sa knila which is may tanung dun about work/occupation. Employed si husband nun nag apply sya ng tv nya then ngayun nag resign na cya pra ma maximise namin ung visa nya. My husband was granted multiple entry visa for 1yr sc600. Sana meron mkasagot po sainyo. Thank you in advance! :)

    1. its better to include this, just download the form and fillout
    2. there's a question on dates that the applicant must be on australia, you can mention the dates that your mom will assist you and state a brief reason.

    Hi, ask ko lang po, balak ko mag apply ng tourist visa this may.

    1. Wala po bang magiging problema kung ako lang mag isa ang pupunta ng australia at di kasama ang asawa at anak ko?
    2. Wala po akong savings account pero may salary card po ako. ok lang ba ung bank statement ng asawa ko ung gamitin ko?
    3. If magrant po ako ng TV, pwede po ba akong pumunta ng australia by August? Ilang months po ba ung usual na validity ng na grant na ng TV?

    thank you in advance.

    @amari0527 different po ata case nyo maam. Mukhang mahihirapan if ikaw lang mag TV. Better get a family TV. Kasi magtata ka CO if ikaw lang aalis. Too doubtful that your just the only one going to tour. Mabilis sila mag grant if complete papers. Just follow the steps here and you won't go wrong. Our TV was granted 7 days lang
