    @genianvinluan03 online na ang application ng TV. yung amin nag punta lang kami sa VFS global for biometrics.

    Kong purely visit lang naman talga ang sadya mo at ma establish mo na hindi ka mag TNT more or less ma approve yan. hingi ka lang ng employment letter at provide ka g contract mo sa Korea to show na bound ka talga na bumalik. at attached ka din ng mga assets in your name. like cars house and lot kong meron man.

    @genianvinluan03 no need ticket sa proof of docs. kasi ina advice nga nila na wag munabili tiket hangang di approve visa masasayang lang. though pede ngayon dummy tiket pero kami wala sinama na tiket. VFS global ka partner ng ibat ibang bansa sa mga visa processing nila mostly may branches all over the world. google mo sya.

    hi administrator, I am maybe on the wrong section, but I am not sure where else to get some info. I just wanted to get some support or additional info based on first hand experiences.. I am not getting any replies. perhaps my inquiry is irrelevant.. so how can I make it sensible. I would like to go to Brisbane, and I would like to know which way to go first. I would like to check it out, then perhaps start looking for a job if things go right. thanks for your time.

    fastest way to go is through visitor visa but u have to know that this only allows u to stay temporarily. also, this visa does not give u the right to work. if you are planning to migrate to australia, u need to know whether u are eligible for skilled migration.
    step 1 - is to know which nominated occupation u are eligible to apply. check SOL or CSOL if your occupation falls under SOL then u can apply for Subclass 189 visa. If your occupation is in CSOL, u are only eligible to apply for Subclass 190 or 489 http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists

    Step 2 - Points test: check if u have enough points to meet the passmark of 60 (some occupations require higher points in order to be selected or invited) https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189- or https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190- (click points test tab)

    Step 3 - if u require state nomination check www.anzscosearch.com if there are states available for sponsorship, u can also find skills assessing bodies and your nominated occupation job description through that site.
